Assertion (A) : The Arctic region is characterised by low annual precipitation. Reason (R ) : Evaporation as well as the capacity of cold air to contain moisture is low.

Answer 2

Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

• The Arctic region is located in the topmost region of the Hemisphere i.e. far away from the equator therefore, it is very cold.
• Cold air is present and as it is heavier, it stays at the bottom and is unable to carry moisture above to the clouds for rainfall to take place.
• Moreover, Evaporation is difficult in such areas as it is mostly cold throughout the year.
