Are these correct? Thanks
1. Solar energy hits these regions at a low angle.
2. it is winter near a polar region
3. of a region averaged over a long period of time
4. the tropics
5. all of the above
All are correct. :-)
yessssss thanks!
You're very welcome. :-)
Wow my little sis just had these questions.

Yes, your answers are correct.
1. Solar energy hits these regions at a low angle: This is correct because in polar climates, the sun is lower in the sky due to the Earth's tilt, resulting in lower solar energy reaching these regions.
2. It is winter near a polar region: This is correct because in polar regions, there are periods of continuous darkness, known as polar night, which occurs during the winter season.
3. Climate is the weather of a region averaged over a long period of time: This is correct. Climate refers to the long-term patterns of weather conditions, including temperature, precipitation, wind patterns, etc., in a particular region.
4. The tropics: This is correct. The tropics, which are the regions near the equator, receive the most solar radiation because they are closer to the Sun.
5. All of the above: This is correct. Large bodies of water, large cities, and ocean currents all have a major influence on climate. Large bodies of water can moderate temperatures, creating a more moderate climate. Large cities can create urban heat islands, affecting local climates. And ocean currents can transport heat around the globe, influencing regional climates.
