Question

question 4 of 15
which climate zone receives the highest insolation?

a. temperate

b. tropical

c. polar

Explanation:

Insolation (solar radiation) is most intense in the tropical zone because the Sun's rays strike this region more directly throughout the year. The tropical zone is near the equator, where the Sun’s angle of incidence is relatively high, leading to more concentrated solar energy per unit area compared to temperate (mid - latitudes) or polar (high latitudes, where rays are more spread out and oblique) zones.

Answer:

B. Tropical
