What is a climate zones that receive the most solar radiation?
ur face
Name three major climate zones and why their temperatures are different?
Temperate, Tropical, and Polar are the three major climate zones. They differ because they each get different amounts of solar radiation. Tropical gets the most solar radiation, then Temperate, and polar gets the least.
Why do regions of the world near the equator have a more consistent climate than regions at middle latitudes?
Regions near the equator have a more consistent climate because they receive more direct sunlight throughout the year. The equator receives consistent and strong solar radiation, leading to warm temperatures and a relatively stable climate. In contrast, middle latitudes experience more variation in solar radiation due to the tilt of the Earth's axis, resulting in more distinct seasons and less consistent weather patterns.
Intercepted solar radiation is called?
Insolation is intercepted solar radiation.
What is true about the regions closer to the equator?
The regions closer to the equator are hotter and more moist than those further from the equator. They receive more solar energy than the poles.
Do tropical regions receive the most solar radiation?
Yes, in terms of the intensity, they receive the most. Throughout the year the sun shines most directly, on average, on regions near the equator.
Which region receives the most solar radiation?
tropical regions
What does the tropical zone receive the most?
Solar radiation.
How are polar and tropic regions?
polar regions are in areas surrounded by poles or frigid zones, climate in these areas are cooler as they receive far less intensity from solar radiation, tropical regions are closer to the equator of the earth and therefore the climate in these areas are warmer
If the Earth's axial tilt was 10 degrees then the poles would receive less solar radiation?
The polar regions will receive less radiation. The amount of solar radiation that impacts a particular area of the Earth is proportional to the cosine of the angle between the normal of the surface area and the incoming "ray" of radiation. So if the axial tilt was 0 then the angle of the solar radiation would be 90 degrees, the cosine of 90 is 0. At 10 degree tilt there will be an increase of ice, snow and glaciation due less solar radiation in summer.
What region of the earth Near the equator receives the most solar energy-?
All regions near the equator receive about the same amount of solar energy but the Atacama desert gets the most.

What do the deserts get much of?
Most deserts receive much solar radiation - sunlight.
How much solar radiation does Calgary Canada receive?
it gets 1,000,000 watts of solar energy per minute.
What is the energy received by the earth from the sun in the form of radiation?
It may be called by different names, for example:* Solar energy * Solar radiation * Electromagnetic waves * Light (actually this is only part of the radiation we receive)
