Answer: Statement (a) best describes the influence of latitude on temperature.
Explanation:
- As the seasons vary, the latitude i.e. the distance from the Equator determines how unevenly long days and short nights are.
- The variation in daylight hours between summer and winter is minimal in areas close to the equator, between the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. This explains why there are little seasonal changes in the tropics. The length of the day varies more and more as one travels away from the equator, giving rise to more distinct seasons.
- Therefore latitude influences the temperature by determining the number of daylight hours each day plays the most role in defining the seasons.
