Answer:
As we move away from the equator towards the poles the average annual temperature becomes colder.
Explanation:
- The temperature seems to decrease as we move away from the equator towards the poles.
- It is because the equator receives the most sunlight, and as we move, the amount of sunlight received decreases.
- There is also a change in the atmospheric pressure.
- This is because the rays of the sun get spread further away.
- The rays have to travel a longer distance in order to reach the poles.
- And in this process, they lose heat.
- The sun’s rays reach the earth at an angle outside the tropics.
- As a result, less heat strikes the ground, which is attenuated by the atmosphere.
- Thus, it becomes cold in the poles.
