it is the geoid shape of earth which is chiefly responsible with sun overhead the equator. This shape leads to intense solar radiation to fall on low latitudes while high latitudes receive low solar energy.This causes differential distribution of temperature.

How does the temperature of Earths crust compare to the temperature of Earth and interior?

The temperature of Earth's crust is much lower than the temperature of Earth's interior. The temperature of Earth's crust generally ranges from about 0°C to 30°C, while the temperature of Earth's interior can reach thousands of degrees Celsius in the mantle and core. The higher temperatures in the interior are due to the heat generated by radioactive decay and leftover heat from Earth's formation.


Is temperature earth science?

Since the Earth's temperature changes, the study of that will be part of Earth Science. But there are lots and lots of other things about the earth, besides temperature, that is part of Earth Science. Also, other things besides the Earth change temperature ,so many other kinds of science, besides Earth Science, study the effects of temperature .


How does the temperature of earth's crust compare to the temperature of earth's interior?

The temperature of Earth's crust is much cooler compared to the temperature of Earth's interior. The crust has an average temperature of around 0 to 200 degrees Celsius, while the interior can reach up to thousands of degrees due to the heat generated from radioactive decay and residual heat from Earth's formation.


What continent is the biggest on Earth?

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth in terms of both land area and population. It covers around 30% of the Earth's land area and is home to over 60% of the world's population.
