Question:

How can Latitude affect the Climate of the Place? Why?

Author: eric_galvao



Answer:

-Lower Latitudes, around the Equator, have the Hottest Temperatures -Higher Latitudes, around the Poles, have the Coldest Temperatures -As you go Further North or South, the Temperature Drops -This happens because of the curvature of the Earth -Areas around the Equator has the Sunlight Concentrating in a smaller area, and the Sunlight has a Smaller area of Atmosphere to go through -Areas around the Poles has the Sunlight going through a Larger Area of the Atmosphere, adding on to the Sun being at a Lower Angle. This results in Less Energy, equalling in Less Temperatures
