Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A climate classification based on moisture using a water budget approach is an empirical classification, as it is based on the observation and measurement of tangible variables, such as precipitation and evapotranspiration rates. A genetic classification would be based on underlying physical and geologic factors that influence climate, while a combined classification would incorporate both empirical and genetic factors.
