The sun rays are --------------- at the poles |
|
Answer» The sun rays fall almost straight at the equator while they fall slanting as we MOVE away from the equator towards the poles. Therefore, the sun rays SPREAD at a larger area as we move from the poles while they are concentrated over a SMALL area at the equator. This RESULTS in more heating of the regions near the equator as COMPARED to the regions away from the equator. Hence, it becomes cooler when we move from the equator towards the poles. |
