How can two regions with the same total yearly precipitation have different climate ratios?

Because the Earth's surface receives different amounts of Sun irradiation due the fact that it is a sphere, and it rotates on a tilted axis causing the seasons and because the Earth is not a uniform body, it has oceans and continents and the continents have a varied topography.

Why can't CaCl2 and AlCl3 form crystals with the same structure as NaCl?
the ion ratios are different,
What is a composition of a compound shown by?
The chemical formula of the compound. This shows the composition directly in atomic ratios, which can be converted to mass ratios by using the atomic weights of each element in the compound.
What is a list of Elements in a compound in exact ratios?
the emperical formula
Isotopic ratios of what element are used to make absolute determinations of the time of formation of materials?
Uranium to lead ratios are most often used to date rocks but I would not call it absolute determinations
What is the formula of the compound in which the atom combining ratios are silicon oxygen 1 2?
silicon dioxide
What is a climate ratio?
Climate ratio is used to describe the moisture side of climate. It compares the precipitation (P) with the potential evapotranspiration (Ep) for a region. One way to do this is to express the relationship between them as a ratio using the formula: Climate ratio = P / Ep When the potential evaporation is greater than yearly precipitation, this ratio is less than 1. When precipitation is greater than evapotranspiration, the ratio is greater than 1. P: precipitation (in mm) or the amount of moisture available for evapotranspiration, evapotranspiration is the combined process of evaporation and plant respiration. Ep: potential evapotranspiration (in mm) or the amount of moisture needed for evapotranspiration. This value increases as temperature and plant life increase. The climate ratios are used to determine climate type: P/Ep: Less than 0.4: arid climate 0.4 - 0.8: semiarid climate 0.8 - 1.2: subhumid climate Greater than 1.2: humid climate Source: NOAA
What are assorted ratios?
A collection of different ratios.
What are the ratios that name the same comparison?
equivalent ratios are different ratios that name the same comparison
How to explain making equivalent ratios?
Equivalent ratios are ratios that represent different numbers but the relationship between the numbers is same.
Do different mass ratios mean different compounds?
No
Which different ratios are equal to 13?

What is a comparison of two quantities with different units?
ratios
How are ratios and scale factors different?
Ratios show the information of the side lengths scale factors show the information of how they are related
What is the difference between a tangent and a secant?
