Question

Which of the following is not true?
Ocean currents moderate temperatures in the polar and tropical regions
Surface heating induces low pressure on land masses
Tropical temperature is quite variable throughout the year

Answer 1

Answer:

• The statement which is not true is :-

Tropical temperature is quite variable throughout the year.

Explanation:

• The area between the tropic of cancer in the northern hemisphere and the tropic of capricorn in the southern hemisphere is called as the tropics.

• These tropics is the area where the inclination of the sunlight is minimum, therefore it receives almost equal amounts of sunlight throughout the year, and thus have the least variation in the temperature.

• While in temperate and in polar regions the amount of sunlight received changes and that's why they have large variations in temperatures.
