Question

look at the map. which statement best describes the location of the arid climate zone?
a. found only in peru
b. stretches along the west coast of south america
c. cuts horizontally through south america
d. located in the center of panama

Explanation:

Looking at the map, the arid climate zone (represented by the yellow color) is not only in Peru (so A is wrong). It does not cut horizontally through South America (C is wrong as the horizontal bands are other climate types like tropical wet and dry). Panama is not part of the map's main South - America focus for the arid zone shown (D is wrong). The arid zone stretches along the west coast of South America.

Answer:

B. Stretches along the west coast of South America
