This is geography not math
The statement, “An arid or
semi-arid climate occurs where precipitation is greater than potential evaporation”,
is false. A semi-arid climate occurs where the recipitation is below the
potential evaporation. Regions that experiences arid climate receives less than
10 inches of rainfall in an entire year.
The Andes Mountains, Central Valley, Atacama Desert, and the Archipalagos. Hope this helps!!
