about 70% of earths surface is part of the

lithosphere.
atmosphere.

question 3 (2 points)
why do parts of the low latitude zone have warm to hot climates?

they receive direct rays from the sun year-round.
the lower the elevation, the higher the temperatures.
the earths atmosphere thins as altitude increases.
the earths poles receive continuous, indirect sunlight.

Explanation:

Classify Earth's planetary type

Earth is a rocky planet with a solid surface, making it one of the four terrestrial planets in our solar system (along with Mercury, Venus, and Mars).

Identify the sphere covering 70% of Earth's surface

Water covers approximately 70% of Earth's surface. The water component of Earth is scientifically classified as the hydrosphere.

Determine the cause of warm climates in low latitudes

Low latitude regions (near the equator) receive the most direct, concentrated solar radiation (sun rays) consistently throughout the year, resulting in warm to hot climates.
