Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Latitude or distance from the equator - Temperatures drop the further an area is from the equator due to the curvature of the earth. The humid subtropical climate is generally located between 25° and 35° latitude on the east sides of continents. Also, temperatures decrease as you move away from the equator.
