Question

analyze the map. warmer temperatures are indicated by orange and yellows, while cooler temperatures are indicated by greens and blues. identify the statements that best describe the relationship between temperature and latitude. as latitude increases, temperature stays the same. there is not enough information given to identify a relationship between temperature and latitude. as latitude increases, temperature increases. as latitude increases, temperatures decreases.

Explanation:

1. Analyze the first option: If latitude increases (moving away from the equator towards poles) and temperature stays the same, but the map shows warmer near equator (lower latitude) and cooler near poles (higher latitude), so this is wrong.
2. Analyze the second option: The map has color - coded temperatures and latitude lines, so we can identify the relationship, so this is wrong.
3. Analyze the third option: Near the equator (low latitude) temperatures are warm (orange/yellow), and as we move to higher latitudes (towards poles), temperatures are cooler (green/blue). So temperature does not increase with latitude, this is wrong.
4. Analyze the fourth option: The equator has low latitude and warm temperatures (orange/yellow). As latitude increases (moving towards 90°), the colors become green/blue (cooler). So as latitude increases, temperature decreases, this is correct.

Answer:

As latitude increases, temperatures decreases.
