Q: The climate of Asia is divided into ___ zones.  

Answer: C

While the continent has many distinct climates, Asia's climate can be broadly divided into three zones: north/central, southwest, and southeast. Cold and dry Arctic winds, particularly from Russia's Siberia region, affect the continent's north/central zone. The southwest zone is a dry, hot region that stretches from Mongolia's Gobi Desert to Pakistan, Iran, and the Arabian Peninsula. The summer monsoon season has a significant impact on the southeast zone. A low-pressure system south of the Himalayas attracts moisture-laden winds from the Indian Ocean during this season.
