the variation in seasonal temperatures and amount of daylight
• decreases as latitude increases
• changes most at the equator
• stays the same at the North and South Poles
• increases as latitude increases
I'll be glad to check your answer.
I think it is increases as latitude increase but I am not quite sure
Yes, the variation in temperatures in amount of daylight increases as the latitude increases.
In the northern hemisphere, the farther north you go, the more the temperature and amount of daylight varies.
thank you so much!
The variation in seasonal temperatures and amount of daylight is influenced by the Earth's tilt and its distance from the sun. To understand how these factors affect the variation, we can break down each statement:
1. "The variation in seasonal temperatures and amount of daylight decreases as latitude increases":
- This is true because as you move away from the equator towards the poles, the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth becomes more oblique.
- This leads to a decrease in the amount of incoming solar radiation per unit area, resulting in cooler temperatures and less daylight duration.
2. "The variation changes most at the equator":
- This statement is not accurate. The equator experiences relatively consistent day lengths throughout the year, with only minor variations.
- However, the equatorial regions do experience changes in temperature due to factors such as rainfall patterns and trade winds.
3. "The variation stays the same at the North and South Poles":
- This statement is incorrect. The North and South Poles have extreme temperature variations and experience continuous daylight or darkness for extended periods of time.
- During their respective summers, they have constant daylight, and during their winters, they have continuous darkness.
4. "The variation in seasonal temperatures and amount of daylight increases as latitude increases":
- This statement is true. As you move closer to either pole, the angle of incoming sunlight decreases significantly, resulting in longer winters with less daylight and colder temperatures.
In summary, the variation in seasonal temperatures and amount of daylight generally decreases as latitude increases, while it increases as you move closer to the poles.
