An arid (desert) climate is defined as a region that receives less than 10 inches (250 mm) of precipitation per year. A semiarid climate receives between 10 and 20 inches (500 mm). Both are considered as dry climates.
the average precipitation is the average rainfall over a period of time.
Depends where exactly you are talking about.
It means how much rainfall and snow a certain place has in one calendar year.
The 'average annual precipitation' - is simply the average rainfall for a given area over the course of a year.

In the Koppen system: A - Tropical Moist Climates: all months have average temperatures above 18° Celsius. B - Dry Climates: with deficient precipitation during most of the year. C - Moist Mid-latitude Climates with Mild Winters. D- Moist Mid-Latitude Climates with Cold Winters. E - Polar Climates: with extremely cold winters and summers.
The characteristics of a dry climate is dry desert-like region.
The Köppen Climate Classification System is the most widely used system for classifying the different types of climates in the world. Its categories are based on the annual and monthly averages of temperature and precipitation. The Köppen system recognizes five major climatic types; each type is designated by a capital letter.A - Tropical Moist Climates: all months have average temperatures above 18° Celsius.B - Dry Climates: with deficient precipitation during most of the year.C - Moist Mid-latitude Climates with Mild Winters.D - Moist Mid-Latitude Climates with Cold Winters.E - Polar Climates: with extremely cold winters and summers

Climates are classified based on temperature and precipitation patterns. The most commonly used classification system is the Koppen Climate Classification which divides climates into categories based on average monthly temperature and precipitation. This system helps identify and map different climate types around the world.
Marine west coast climates have much precipitation because
Precipitation is the measure of how much water vapor will precipitate into liquid. This in combination with humidity can effectively measure the amount of rain, dew, and other water related weather and therefore determine in a climate should be classified as tropical.
