There are three basic climate zones in the world namely, tropical zone, temperate zone, and polar zone. Which of the following could be the reason for these climate zones?
altitude
earth's shape
distance from the sun
tiltation of the eath on its axis
Answer explanation
Climates differ from region to region, mainly because of the earth's shape. Because the earth is shaped like a sphere, the sun's rays strike different parts of its surface at different angles. If you were standing in an equatorial region, the sun would appear directly overhead. Near the polar region, the sun would appear at a lower angle in the sky. The sunlight at both locations contains the same amount of energy; but at the equatorial region, the sunlight is concentrated in a much smaller area. The surface on it therefore is warmer.

Suppose you would like to hang out in a place where you would like to experience colder air in the middle of the night. Which place are you going to choose?
Answer explanation
Water has high specific heat compared to land. Thus, it takes a longer time for the water to become either warm or cold compared to landmass. The air on a slope of a mountain that is surrounded by a land mass is colder than the air by the beach. The air on a downtown is warmer compared to the air on a mountain due to altitude differences.
