Question

Which of the following is true about the climate in the Olympic Peninsula?(2 points)

The rain forests in this region rarely have temperatures below freezing or above 80 degrees Fahrenheit.

Temperatures in the rain forests in this region are abnormally cool, staying at or below freezing during much of the year.

There is minimal rainfall in this region, producing an arid environment.

Answer 1

The first statement is true. The Olympic Peninsula has a temperate (marine) rainforest climate — winters are mild (seldom far below freezing) and summers are cool (rarely above ~80°F). The second and third statements are false: it does not stay at or below freezing much of the year, and it receives very high rainfall, not minimal precipitation.
