Which latitude receives the least amount of light |
|
Answer» Answer: hey mate! here is your answer The lowest latitudes get the most energy from the SUN. The highest latitudes get the least. The TILT of the Earth causes different areas to receive different amounts of solar energy. The DIFFERENCE in solar energy received at different latitudes drives atmospheric circulation. Places that get more solar energy have more heat. Places that get less solar energy have less heat. The air above the areas receiving more heat warms up and rises. The air over the areas receiving less heat is cooler and so it sinks. The rising warm air and sinking cool air CREATE WIND which moves air and heat around the planet. |
