Factor 1- Latitude Flashcards
Name to facts about what happens to the suns direct and indirect rays when they are closer to the equator
The suns direct rays pass through less air and therefore stronger when they hit the ground CLOSER to the equator
CLOSER to the equator the suns indirect rays are more concentrated and are therefore warmer
Name to facts about what happens when the suns direct and indirect rays are further from the equator
FURTHER from the equator, the suns rays must pass through more air and are therefore weaker when they hit the ground
FURTHER from the equator, the suns indirect rays are more spread out and do not have much heating power
