Question 4 • Geography

Which statement describes the West Siberian Plain in central Russia?

Answer
A
Its elevation varies from 1,600 ft to 2,300 ft.
B
It contains high mountain peaks, deep valleys, and permanent snowfields.
C
It has a poor drainage system due to moss, low elevation, and cold land.
D
Its average annual precipitation is less than 4 inches.

Explanation

The West Siberian Plain is very flat and low-lying, and its cold climate and mossy, waterlogged ground make drainage poor. It is known for extensive wetlands and swamps. The high peaks in B describe a mountainous region, not a plain.
