Answer
The KoĢppen climate classification is not based solely on precipitation but also considers other factors such as temperature and evaporation rates. In Albuquerque, the combination of low precipitation and high evaporation rates due to the arid climate results in a net loss of moisture, leading to a desert classification. On the other hand, in Verkhoyansk, despite receiving slightly less precipitation than Albuquerque, the cold temperatures prevent high evaporation rates, allowing the moisture to be retained and contributing to a humid climate classification.
