Why can climate-type identification be difficult in marginal zones in Köppen classification?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: There is a transition between two climate criteria
Marginal zones lie near the numerical boundaries separating Köppen classes. Small differences in long-term temperature, rainfall, evaporation or seasonal distribution can move a location from one category to another. Such transition areas may genuinely share characteristics of neighbouring climates and require careful data analysis.
