Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

. A peak in Northern Hemisphere temperature occurs in the June following El Nino warming in January. The Northern Hemisphere is where the Earth system most spectacularly exhibits its response to change in the heat budget. This is due first to the transfer of warmth by ocean currents and second to …

Answer 2

Answer:

Latitude - The input of radiant energy from the Sun is called insolation. If the Earth's axis of rotation had no inclination with respect to the plane of its orbit then the insolation at high noon is simply αcos(φ) where φ is the latitude angle and α is the intensity of the Sun's radiation above the atmosphere.
