Question
The map below represents a portion of an imaginary continent on Earth. Two coastal locations on the continent are labeled A and B.A map is shown. Three latitudes are indicated on the map, labeled from bottom to top as 0° (equator), 30° N, and 60° N. Location A is above 60° N. Location B is between the equator and 30° N.Which location is likely to have a warmer climate, and why?Choose 1 answer:Choose 1 answer:(Choice A) Location A, because it receives less direct sunlight throughout the yearALocation A, because it receives less direct sunlight throughout the year(Choice B) Location A, because it receives more direct sunlight throughout the yearBLocation A, because it receives more direct sunlight throughout the year(Choice C) Location B, because it receives less direct sunlight throughout the yearCLocation B, because it receives less direct sunlight throughout the year(Choice D) Location B, because it receives more direct sunlight throughout the yearDLocation B, because it receives more direct sunlight throughout the year
Solution
The correct answer is (Choice D) Location B, because it receives more direct sunlight throughout the year. This is because Location B is closer to the equator, where the sun's rays are more direct and stronger, leading to warmer temperatures. On the other hand, Location A is closer to the North Pole, where the sun's rays are more spread out and weaker, leading to cooler temperatures.
