    Solution

    Koeppen's "B" type climate refers to dry climates, characterized by low rainfall insufficient for vegetation growth. These climates span across latitudes from 15° to 60° north and south of the equator. Subcategories include steppe or semi-arid climates (BS) and desert climates (BW). Such regions are found in the interiors of continents or areas with cold currents, especially on the western coasts.
