Which four lines mark the middle latitudes?
One is the equator and maybe the tropic of Capricorn and the tropic of Cancer.Ok that is totally incorrect! the middle lat. are not that at all. the two tropics and the equator are called the lowlat.! I know that doesn't sound right but if you think about it... they are called the low lat. because they are the smallest degree (23.5), or closes to the equator. The Arctic circle and Antarctic circle would be the correct answer. (66.5 degrees)
What is the location of an tundra?
The tundra biome is typically found in high latitudes near the North and South Poles, as well as at high elevations in mountains. It is characterized by low temperatures, short growing seasons, and permafrost, which limits plant growth.
How is local weather affected by latitude?
Local weather is influenced by latitude in a few ways. Areas closer to the equator (low latitudes) tend to be warmer due to more direct sunlight, while areas closer to the poles (high latitudes) are colder because sunlight is more spread out. This difference in temperature leads to variations in air pressure, wind patterns, and the formation of different weather systems that determine the local weather conditions.
A dry region with little rainfall and vegetation can be cold or hot?
A dry region with little rainfall and vegetation can be either hot or cold depending on factors like latitude, proximity to oceans or mountains, and atmospheric circulation patterns. Hot deserts are typically found at low latitudes, while cold deserts are often located at higher latitudes or elevations. Both types of deserts have minimal precipitation and sparse vegetation due to limited water availability.
Where is tundra in the world?
Tundra can be found in regions of the world that are located at high latitudes near the Earth's poles, including areas of northern Russia, Canada, Alaska, Scandinavia, and Antarctica. Tundra ecosystems are characterized by cold temperatures, short growing seasons, low vegetation, and permafrost.
What are low degree latitudes called?
Another name for Low latitudes are PARALLELS.
Is the area between the tropic of cancer and the tropic of Capricorn high or low latitudes?
Both! All lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of cancer are high latitudes, and lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of capricorn are considered low latitudes. ***THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TROPICAL LATITUDES*** <- those I can't name
Is the areas between the tropic of cancer and tropic of Capricorn called low or high latitudes?
Both! All lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of cancer are high latitudes, and lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of capricorn are considered low latitudes. ***THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TROPICAL LATITUDES*** <- those I can't name
Are the latitudes north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle called high middle or low latitude regions?
"High" latitudes. The equator has a latitude of zero. The area between the Tropic of Cancer (at 23.5 degrees north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (at 23.5 degrees south) are the "tropics" or low latitudes. The "polar regions" are above the Arctic Circle or below the Antarctic Circle, where the latitudes are higher than 66.5 degrees (north or south) are "high". The areas between the tropics and the arctic/antarctic are called "mid-latitudes or "temperate zones".
Where are the mid-latitudes?
The "low latitudes" are those near the equator, in the tropics, etc. Countries found in that region include those in Central America, the west Indies, northern South America, central and Saharan Africa, southern India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, and the islands of the south Pacific.

What are the low latitude areas near the equator?
The warm low-latitude areas near the equator are known as the tropics. These two lines are known as the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
What is a place in the low latitude?
Low latitudes are the latitudes between the Tropic of Cancer and Capricorn. Portions of the low latitudes receive direct sunlight year round. Hope This Helps.
What has a colder climate high latitudes or low latitudes?
High latitudes have a colder climate compared to low latitudes. This is due to the angle of sunlight, which is more spread out at high latitudes leading to less direct heat energy reaching the Earth's surface. Additionally, low latitudes receive more direct sunlight year-round, helping to maintain warmer temperatures.
Can a region at low latitudes have Snow?
No
What characterizes climate in middle latitudes?
low rates of evaporation(novanet/Gradpoint)
Where do the low latitudes lie?
The southern hemisphere.
