Map 4 shows a broad latitude band with arrows indicating that surface winds usually move from east to west across a tropical ocean for many years. A warm ocean current is also shown moving westward, piling warm water near the western side of the ocean basin. Two islands are highlighted:
  • Island E (east side of basin): lower long-term rainfall
  • Island W (west side of basin): higher long-term rainfall
Which explanation best links the circulation patterns on the map to the different island climates? (Climate is based on long-term averages, not one monsoon season.)
