Simple reason air in temperate regions are dry and rainfall occur at particular time and season. While at equator rain fall is daily phenomena which clear dust particles from atmosphere. (I hope you u derstand)

What is one reason there is more species diversity in the tropics?
there is more solar energy available in the tropics than in the temperate zones.
What region usually has temperatures cooler than temperatures near the equator?
Temperate Zones are usually cooler than the temperatures near the equator.
Why is it warmer in Denmark during summer than in Switzerland during winter - Switzerland has a lower latitude and is closer to the tropics?
But Denmark is lower in elevation, and closer to the ocean. Oceans moderate temperatures around land, while increased altitude is colder.

Where are the temperate?
In geography the temperate latitudes of the globe lie between the tropics and the polar circles. These regions have a summer and winter that are generally relatively moderate, rather than extremely hot or cold.

Why does species diversity tend to be higher in the tropics than in the arctic?
It is easier to live in the warmer temperatures. Just think about it.
Why are the climates south of the tropic Capricorn temperate rather than tropical?
Most of Latin America lies within the Tropics- the area between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. This area has generally warm temperatures because it receives the direct rays of the sun for much of the year. Yet even within the Tropics, mountain ranges and wind patterns create a variety of climates in the region.
Which solid is the most soluble at lower temperatures than at higher temperatures?
sodium chloride
Are temperatures in a large city generally lower than temperatures in the surrounding rural areas?
no
Is most of Australia located in the tropics?
Only the part of Australia north of the Tropic of Capricorn (about one third) is in the tropics, the rest is in the temperate zone.
Why do tornadoes travel faster than hurricanes?
Hurricanes are tropical weather systems while significant tornadoes generally occur in the temperate latitudes. The wind currents that move storms in the tropics are generally weaker than those that move storms in the temperate latitudes.
