Higher latitudes will have warmer water because it is closer to the equator.


Lower latitudes will have warmer water because it is closer to the equator.

Respuesta :

Lower latitudes will have warmer water because it is closer to the equator.

  • Latitude refers to the coordinates that indicate north-south (NS)  geographic positions on the Earth's surface.

  • Lower latitudes are closer to the Equator, whereas higher latitudes are closer to the poles.

  • In the Equator, the amount of solar radiation received by the surface of the Earth is higher than in the poles (and therefore also the temperature) due to the angle of sun rays.

In conclusion, lower latitudes will have warmer water because it is closer to the equator.
