Your first answer is correct. Areas near the Equator with very little wind are known as doldrums.

The places located in the high latitudes are near the North and South Poles. Neither of the two answers you've posted are correct.

for the sec. one is the coldest climates on earth

Right. The high latitudes have the coldest places on earth.

The correct answer to the first question is D) doldrums. The doldrums refer to an area near the Earth's equator where winds are usually calm or very weak. This region is known for its lack of wind and is often associated with low-pressure weather patterns.

To arrive at this answer, you can break down the options and eliminate the incorrect ones:

A) Leeward refers to the side of a mountain or an object sheltered from the wind. This option does not describe an area with little wind, so it can be eliminated.

B) Weather is a general term that refers to the conditions of the atmosphere at a particular time and place. While it is related to wind, it does not specifically describe a low wind area, so this option can also be eliminated.

C) Permafrost, on the other hand, refers to a layer of permanently frozen soil found in arctic and subarctic regions. This option does not describe an area with little wind, so it can be eliminated as well.

By process of elimination, we are left with D) doldrums as the correct answer.

For the second question, the correct answer is A) a mix of extremely hot and extremely cold weather. Places located in high latitudes, such as the polar regions, often experience a wide temperature range from very hot in the summer to extremely cold in the winter.

To determine the correct answer, you again need to evaluate each option:

B) A very warm climate. This option is incorrect because high latitudes are generally known for their cold temperatures, especially during the winter months. Therefore, this option can be eliminated.

By eliminating the incorrect option, we arrive at A) a mix of extremely hot and extremely cold weather as the correct answer.
