Which of the following best describes the influence of latitude on climate?

a. polar regions receive less solar energy and heat per unit area then tropical regions.

b. earths climate zones are produced by the equal distribution of the suns heat across the earths surface.

c. less direct solar energy affects areas near the equator than it does at the poles.

d. temperate regions receive more solar energy and heat per unit area then tropical regions.

A. Polar regions receive less solar energy and heat per unit area than tropical regions.

Explanation:

The sun is lower in the sky the farther away from the equator you go (at higher latitudes), so the solar energy is less direct. Climate in areas with less direct solar input tends to be generally cooler.

the correct answer to this question is 2

answer : (a) volume of the gas = 8.67 ×   l

                (b) second virial coefficient b = -1.21226 l/mole

solution :   given,     t = 300k

                                p = 20atm

                                z = 0.86

                                n = 8.2 mmoles = 8.2 × moles

                                r =   0.082 l atm/k/mol

        find,     (a) volume of gas   and (b) second virial coefficient b at 300k.

formula used :            

                          and            

(a)            

                    = \times 0.082\times 300}{20}[/tex]

                    = 8.67 ×   l

(b)      

                    = (0.00867-1) × 8.659

                    = - 8.5839 l/mole
