Question

Distinguished between Mediterranean and monsoon climate?

Answer 1

A Mediterranean climate /ˌmɛdɪtəˈreɪniən/ or dry summer climate is characterized by rainy winters and dry summers. While the climate receives its name from the Mediterranean Basin, where it is commonplace, it is also present in other areas of the planet, such as most of California in the United States, in parts of Western and South Australia, in southwestern South Africa, sections of Western and Central Asia, and in Central Chile. These are generally located on the western coasts of continents, between roughly 30 and 45 degrees north and south of the equator, typically between oceanic climatestowards the poles (where they tend to be wetter), and semi-arid and aridclimates towards the equator (where they tend to be drier).

In essence, and due to the seasonal shift of the subtropical high-pressure beltswith the apparent movement of the Sun, a Mediterranean climate is an intermediate type between these other climates, with winters somewhat mimicking winters in oceanic climates and summers imitating dry seasons in semi-arid and arid climates. But contrary to oceanic climates, there are always a number of clear, sunny days in the wet season.
MONSOON CLIMATE

A tropical monsoon climate (occasionally known as a tropical wet climate or a tropical monsoon and trade-wind littoral climate) is a type of climate that corresponds to the Köppen climate classification category "Am".

Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

The mediterranean climates are found in the regions of the western edges of the continents whereas the monsoon climates are found in the regions of the opposite side of the continents.  

The Mediterranean climate is characterized by wet winters and dry summers. The climate receives it's name by the Mediterranean Basin associate where this climate can be experienced.

The monsoon climates is primarily caused by the seasonal changes in temperature over the large areas of water and land. These regions are associated with humid weather conditions. These can be seen in South and Central America.
