    In which of the following regions will you expect the highest annual range of temperature?

    A) Savanna region

    B) Equatorial region

    C) Taiga region

    D) Monsoon region

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The entire taiga region lies in the northern hemisphere between \[{{50}^{o}}-{{55}^{o}}N\] to \[{{65}^{o}}-{{70}^{o}}N\] latitudes where winters are extremely cold and temperature in winters as low as \[-{{50}^{o}}C\] are very common. The summer season lasts for about three months when the temperature rises to \[+{{10}^{o}}C\]. Therefore the annual range of temperature is about \[{{60}^{o}}C\] which is the highest of all the four regions mentioned here.
