Question

question 1 of 10
match the zone to its characteristic.
polar ? has highest insolation
tropical ? hot in the summer, cold in the winter
temperate ? has lowest insolation

Explanation:

• Polar zones are at the Earth's poles, receiving the least solar radiation (insolation) due to the sun's low angle.
• Tropical zones (near the equator) get the most direct sunlight, so highest insolation.
• Temperate zones (between tropics and polar circles) have distinct seasonal temperature changes: hot summers and cold winters.

Answer:

• Polar: Has lowest insolation
• Tropical: Has highest insolation
• Temperate: Hot in the summer, cold in the winter
