Geography and Climate

Which factor plays a major role in determining the climate of an area?

Longitude

Vegetation

Latitude (correct)

Population density

What are some factors that contribute to the climate of a region?

Population density, longitude, precipitation, and vegetation

Temperature, humidity, air pressure, and population density

Latitude, elevation, ocean currents, and wind patterns (correct)

Latitude, longitude, temperature, and wind patterns

What is one effect of latitude on climate?

Areas near the equator and poles receive the same amount of solar energy, resulting in similar temperatures in both regions

Latitude has no effect on climate

Areas near the equator receive more solar energy than areas near the poles, leading to higher temperatures in tropical regions and lower temperatures in polar regions (correct)

Areas near the poles receive more solar energy than areas near the equator, leading to higher temperatures in polar regions and lower temperatures in tropical regions
