Question
sunlight striking earth in a high - latitude location
use the diagrams to complete the statements..
sunlight reaching a high - latitude location spreads out over a ______ area than the same
amount of sunlight reaching a low - latitude location. compared to a low - latitude location,
the sunlight reaching a high - latitude location is ____ intense.
larger... more larger... less smaller... less smaller... more
At high - latitude locations, sunlight strikes the Earth at an angle. This causes the same amount of sunlight to spread over a larger area compared to low - latitude locations where sunlight is more direct (spreads over a smaller area). Since the energy is spread over a larger area at high latitudes, the intensity (energy per unit area) is less.
