Question
The main reason that the earth experiences highest temperatures in the subtropics in the Northern Hemisphere rather than at the equator is :
- Subtropical areas tend to have less cloud cover than equatorial areas.
- Subtropical areas have longer day hours in the summer than the equatorial.
- Subtropical areas have an enhanced "green house effect" compared to equatorial areas.
- Subtropical areas are nearer to the oceanic areas than the equatorial locations.
Solution
A.
Subtropical areas tend to have less cloud cover than equatorial areas.
