What is the relationship between latitudes and temperature?
What is the relationship between latitudes and temperature?
The relationship between latitudes and temperature is that temperature varies with latitude: temperature is lower at higher latitudes, and temperature is higher at lower latitudes.
Why does the concentration of heat energy become lower at higher latitudes?
Why does the concentration of heat energy become lower at higher latitudes?
The concentration of heat energy becomes lower at higher latitudes because the angle of the solar radiation entering the Earth is smaller, so a larger area is receiving and sharing the same amount of solar radiation.
Why does the temperature rise quickly and become higher at lower latitudes?
Why does the temperature rise quickly and become higher at lower latitudes?
The temperature rises quickly and becomes higher at lower latitudes because the angle of the solar radiation entering the Earth is bigger, so a smaller area is receiving and sharing the same amount of solar radiation.
