Question

the further a location is from the equator, the ______ it tends to be. drier hotter colder

Explanation:

The equator receives more direct sunlight, resulting in warmer temperatures. As a location moves further from the equator (towards the poles), the angle of sunlight becomes more oblique, leading to less concentrated heat and thus colder temperatures. So the further a location is from the equator, the colder it tends to be.

Answer:

colder
