Which of the following is a correct match of a climate type with its vegetation or features as per Koeppen's scheme of classification of climate?
Aw – Deciduous forests and tree-shredded grasslands
In Koeppen's climate classification, Aw denotes a tropical savanna climate marked by a dry winter, supporting deciduous forests and tree-scattered grasslands.
Cfa is a humid subtropical climate, not a cold desert with permafrost, so that match is incorrect.
BWh is a hot desert climate with sparse vegetation rather than a dense evergreen canopy, and ET is a tundra climate, not tropical rainforest, so both are wrong.
Hence, the correct match is Aw with deciduous forests and tree-shredded grasslands.
