Question

the temperature of earths surface is warmer near the equator than it is near the poles. air that remains over low-latitude source regions, closer to the equator, often gains thermal energy from the warm land or water below. so, low-latitude source regions produce air masses with relatively warm air. think about how high-latitude source regions are different from low-latitude source regions. then, click the blue words to correct the statement below. compared to low-latitude source regions, high-latitude source regions are closer to earths poles. air that remains over a high-latitude source region often loses thermal energy to the cool land or water below. so, high-latitude source regions produce air masses with relatively warm air.

Explanation:

High-latitude regions are by definition closer to the poles, so the first blue phrase is already correct. Since high-latitude areas have cool land/water, air loses thermal energy there, resulting in cold air masses, so "warm" needs correction.

Answer:

Compared to low-latitude source regions, high-latitude source regions are closer to Earth's poles.
Air that remains over a high-latitude source region often loses thermal energy to the cool land or water below. So, high-latitude source regions produce air masses with relatively cold air.
