a) decrease is answer of this question

Answer 2

The further one moves away from the equator, the temperature decreases.  

Answer: Option (a)

Explanation:

The earth is the hottest on the equator because it receives direct sunlight from the sun. The sun shines more number of hours during the year and it gets a direct impact of the sunlight.  

When we move ‘away from the equator’ and towards the poles there is a lesser impact of the sunlight and the temperature of the earth starts to decrease and it becomes colder. The temperature is at the minimum toward the poles because of lack of ‘direct sunlight’.
