The Koppen classification is based principally on

  • A.temperature and rainfall thresholds
  • B.the general circulation of the atmosphere
  • C.the soil type and the geology
  • D.the latitude and nothing more

Answer: A

Correct answer: temperature and rainfall thresholds

Koppen defined his classes by numerical limits on monthly and annual temperature and precipitation - the coldest month above or below a stated value, the driest month against a rainfall threshold, and so on. Those two variables were chosen because they were widely measured and because they governed the vegetation he was really classifying.
