Question

Many factors affect the general climate of a location. Latitude is an important factor in determining the type of climate. Miami is at a lower latitude than New York and closer to the equator. Locations at latitudes closer to the equator receive stronger and more direct sunlight than locations near the poles.

Which sentence from this paragraph indicates the effect of latitude on the climate of a location?

Answer 1

If the location is closer to the equator it is more likely to be warmer and more humid. Since Miami is closer it would be more warm.

Answer 2
