Why is there so little precipitation at high latitudes?
as you move away from the tropics it means you are moving closer to the equator and since at the equator is warm there will be little precipitation
Is the equator low latitude?
Yes. The equator is located at 0 degrees latitude. The 'low' in 'low latitudes' refers to low numbers; for example, latitudes in the 0 to 30 degree range are generally considered to be 'low,' 30-60 degrees considered 'mid-latitudes,' and 60-90 degrees considered 'high-latitudes.' Latitudes range from 0 to 90 degrees in both directions (N and S) starting from the equator.
What has a colder climate high latitudes or low latitudes?
places in low latitudes have hot climate and places in high latitude have cold climates because in high latitude its farther away from the equator which makes it colder.
Why other latitudes are smaller than equator?
Because the earth is round, so as you get further away from the centre circumference gets less.
The distance between the longitudes decreases towards?
The north and south poles or away from the equator. At the poles the distances between lines of longitude are zero.

What is the range of the measurements of latitude?
Latitudes range from zero to 90 degrees, north and south. Zero is at the equator, 90 north is the north pole, 90 south is the south pole, and that's as far away from the equator as you can get.
Does grasslands have a lot of snow?
If the grasslands are located at latitudes close to the equator, the grasslands may get little or none. The farther away from the equator the colder it gets, so the more snowfall they will recieve. And then it also depends on depends on whether it is Winter or Summer there.
Generally the farther away from the Equator one travels in Africa the?
The length of daylight becomes more extreme
How many hrs in the shortest day of the year?
That depends where you are on the planet. the length of day is shorter the further away from the equator you are.
Why is cosine used in finding ditance traveed on a latitude?
The distance along one degree of longitude is 60 nautical miles at the equator and less at latitudes away from the equator. In fact it is 60 nautical miles times the cosine of the latitude, so 60 at the equator zero at the poles, and 30 nautical miles at 60 degrees north or south..
Regions near 30 degrees north and south of the equator have what pressure?
Most deserts can be found generally in the 30 degree North & 30 degree South latitudes largely in part because the upper air patterns that are called the Hadley Cellsrise at the Equatorial latitudes and subside (go down wards) and the Horse latitudes which can be found 30 degrees North or South of the Equator. Because the outer edge of the Hadley Cells (away from the Equator) the air descends there is much less weather and the air is much more stable. Therefore there will be less clouds producing less rain at these latitudes (30 degrees N & S). Therefore with very, very dry climates being produced at these Horse Latitudes there will be less soil and rain for growing vegetation and it will mostly be all sand and scrub brush which needs very little rain.
Where are seasonal variations of temperature and day length?
The further you go away from the equator towards the poles, the greater the seasonal temperature and daylight variations.
