Answer

Answer:

Responses may vary but should include some or all of the following information. Tropical and dry climates share similarities in terms of temperature and location. Both climate types experience warmer temperatures throughout the year. They may both be located in low latitude regions, although tropical climates are always at low latitudes and dry climates may be located at any latitude. The main difference between the two types is in terms of precipitation. Tropical climates are known to be very wet, receiving a large amount of precipitation each year. Dry climates, however, receive very little precipitation throughout the year.
