Question

7 temperatures usually decrease as latitude increases for which of the following reasons? air pressure is less. suns rays strike earth at a smaller angle. cloud cover increases. the height of the atmosphere increases. skip 6/12 complete

Explanation:

As latitude increases, the sun's rays strike the Earth at a smaller (more oblique) angle. This spreads the solar energy over a larger area, resulting in less heating and lower temperatures. Air - pressure, cloud - cover, and height of the atmosphere are not the main reasons for the temperature decrease with increasing latitude.

Answer:

Sun's rays strike Earth at a smaller angle.
