Question

Drag each label to the correct location. Match the climate zones to their relative temperature levels. (coldest zonehottest zonemoderate temperature zone)

Answer 1

I answered the question on edmentum and that person was correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The polar zone is the coldest because the Sun’s rays hit this part of Earth at a wide angle, causing their energy to be spread thinly over a large surface area.

The topical zone is the hottest because the Sun’s rays hit this part of Earth nearly straight on, focusing the heat on a small surface area.

The temperate zone experiences moderate temperatures because the Sun’s rays hit this zone at an angle that concentrates the heat on a surface area that is smaller than on the polar zone and larger than on the tropical zone.

Answer 2

Polar Zones - Coldest Temperature

Temperate Zones - Moderate Temperature

Tropical Zones - Hottest Temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

The closer you are to the Equator, the hotter it gets, as the sun hits the middle of the Earth the most. At the poles, the sun hits it there the least, so it is the coldest. In between, we would have a mild between hot and cold.

*Remember that the Earth is at a tilt, and that is why we have seasons and why the Equator is so hot and the Poles are so cold.
