What is one effect of latitude on climate?
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)
