Not illustrated. 1921 Excerpt: ...together with Japan and New Zealand, are the chief examples of this type. The people who live there are always talking about the weather because it keeps changing. This is quite unlike the dry belts, where little is said alxnit the weather, because it is almost always clear. There the water supply is one of the chief subjects of conversation. The abundance of water at all seasons in regions of cyclonic storms makes it possible for farmers to live everywhere. People do not have to be crowded into compact villages near the central water supply as they do in dry countries. They live where they choose, even though it be miles from neighbors. This has helped to make the people of such regions more resourceful and better able to take care of themselves than are those of other parts of the world.

The amount is small because cold air cannot hold much moisture. With certain modifications due to the continents and their relief the rainfall of any part of the world belongs to one of the types shown in Fig. 70.
