Paragraph- Sent 1: Temperate climates have moderate temperatures.
Sent 2: These climates vary in how much rain they get and when the rain falls.
Sent 3: You can see different types of temperate climates in Figure 2.40.
Sent 4: Mediterranean climates are found on the western coasts of continents.
Sent 5: The coast of California has a Mediterranean climate.
Sent 6: Temperatures are mild and rainfall is moderate.
Sent 7: Most of the rain falls in the winter, and summers are dry.
Sent 8: To make it through the dry summers, short woody plants are common.
Sent 9: Marine west coast climates are also found on the western coasts of continents.
Sent 10: The coast of Washington State has this type of climate.
Sent 11: Temperatures are mild and theres plenty of rainfall all year round.
Sent 12: Dense fir forests grow in this climate.
Sent 13: Humid subtropical climates are found on the eastern sides of continents.
Sent 14: The southeastern U.S. has this type of climate.
Sent 15: Summers are hot and humid, but winters are chilly.
Sent 16: There is moderate rainfall throughout the year.
Sent 17: Pine and oak forests grow in this climate.
Question: What are the characteristics of humid subtropical climates?.
answer:
Summers are hot and humid, but winters are chilly.

question:
Paragraph- Sent 1: Tropical climates are found around the equator.
Sent 2: These climates have warm temperatures year round.
Sent 3: Tropical climates may be very wet or wet and dry.
Sent 4: Tropical wet climates occur at or very near the equator.
Sent 5: They have high rainfall year round.
Sent 6: Tropical rainforests grow in this type of climate.
Sent 7: Tropical wet and dry climates also occur near the equator.
Sent 8: They receive less rainfall.
Sent 9: Most of the rain falls in a single season.
Sent 10: The rest of the year is dry.
Sent 11: Few trees can withstand the long dry season.
Sent 12: The main plants are grasses.
Sent 13: Dry climates receive very little rainfall.
Sent 14: They also have high rates of evaporation.
Sent 15: This makes them even drier.
Sent 16: Deserts can get less than 25 centimeters of rain per year.
Sent 17: Thats less than 10 inches per year.
Sent 18: How much rain do you get at your house?.
Question: Where are tropical climates found.
answer:
Near or around the equator.

question:
Paragraph- Sent 1: Magnets are able to place a force on certain materials.
Sent 2: This force is called a magnetic force.
Sent 3: The force a magnet exerts is a little different from the forces you may normally think about.
Sent 4: You exert a force on a book when you lift it.
Sent 5: You also exert a force on the pedals of your bicycle.
Sent 6: In both those cases, those forces cause a change.
Sent 7: The change you see in both these cases is called motion.
Sent 8: Magnets, too, can produce change.
Sent 9: They can produce motion just like you do.
Sent 10: Unlike you, magnets do not have to touch something to exert a force.
Sent 11: A magnetic force is exerted over a distance.
Sent 12: Thats right, a magnet can push or pull certain items without ever touching them.
Sent 13: Thats how the maglev train works.
Sent 14: Do you know another type of force that does not require objects to touch?
Sent 15: These forces are known as non-contact forces.
Sent 16: Another type of non-contact force you may be familiar with is gravity.
Sent 17: Gravity too can cause changes in motion.
Sent 18: Gravity holds our moon in orbit without touching it.
Question: What is a magnetic force?.
answer:
The force a magnet places on a material.
