Highly rotated axis........
The answer is: A. Lake Erie with the Hudson River
The answer would be D.
As for The other options, it cannot be A because there is no way we could know if they are exactly similar. B states they are dramatically different when there is obviously some similarity. C states that they are from the same time period, which is impossible as there is no way a layer of sedimentary rock can be the same age as current day mud. There are likely many layers above the studied area that can denote the age.
I don't know what you mean by "D" climate regions, but the cooler the climate, the more likely permafrost will be found. If the climate is warmer, permafrost won't be found because it will be thawed out.
The correct answer is - B. less rainfall and temperature swings between seasons.
The continental climates are under heavy influence of the continental air masses, which are warm and dry, or cold and dry. The influences of the sea are minimal and only in certain parts of the year.
These climate types experience the change of four seasons, spring, summer, autumn, and winter, all of which have their own unique characteristics.
The spring and the autumn are mild, and are usually the periods when most of the precipitation occurs.
The summers are very hot and dry, while the winters are very cold and dry.
The temperatures from the summer and the winter may range up to 70 C degrees, with having 35 C degrees above zero in the summer, and 35 C degrees bellow zero in the winters. These climate types are mostly found deeper into the mainland of the continents.
