Which climate type is most likely to have severe long winters in high-latitude continental interiors?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Subarctic snow climate
The subarctic or continental snow climate belongs to Köppen's D group. At high latitudes and far from the moderating ocean, continentality produces very cold, prolonged winters and a large annual temperature range. Tropical rainforest, Mediterranean, and hot desert climates do not fit this combination of latitude and continental setting.
