Question

5.
If a place has a latitude of 10° N, is it in the Northern
We know that the nearer a place is to the poles, the colder it is likely to be. Which
city, in a) and b) below, is likely to be colder?
a City X: latitude 30°N, longitude 25 W, or City Y: latitude 60° N, longitude 20 E
b. City W: latitude 40° 5, longitude 75 E, or City Z: latitude 75° S, longitude 50° W.​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) City Y  b) City Z are colder.

Latitude undeniably affects temperature and hence affecting the climate of a particular place. Latitudes vary from "0 degrees" at the equator to a "90 degrees" near each pole.  

The amount of sunlight that is received by an area determines the temperature. At the equator, high amount of sunlight is received, hence higher temperature. At or near the poles, sunlight is very sparse and further reflected by the ice, hence the temperature drops.  That is there is an "inverse relationship" between an area's latitude and its temperature. The longitude does not have a visual effect on the temperature of an area but indirectly through wind currents.
