Because the temperate zone is in the lower Southern Hemisphere and the tropics are closer to the equator.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Why wind speed is lower in the tropics than in the temperates?
Wind speed is lower in the tropics compared to the temperate regions because there is less temperature contrast between the equator and poles, which results in weaker pressure gradients and less intense atmospheric circulation. Additionally, the stable and consistent temperature in the tropics leads to less variation in wind speeds.
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.
Compare temperate ocean and tropical oceans?
Tropical waters, while beautiful, have high light levels and are nutrient poor. The murkier temperate oceans are nutrient dense and have low light levels allowing for abundant plankton and algae formation.
What divides Australia into two climatic zones?
Australia has more than two climatic zones. It has wet/dry tropics, some wet tropics, arid zones, a small area of true desert, subtropical zones, and temperate zones as well. Two very broad zones are those of summer maximum rainfall, generally the north, and winter maximum, generally the south.

Why wind speed is lower in the tropics than in the temperates?
Wind speed is lower in the tropics compared to the temperate regions because there is less temperature contrast between the equator and poles, which results in weaker pressure gradients and less intense atmospheric circulation. Additionally, the stable and consistent temperature in the tropics leads to less variation in wind speeds.
Why are tropical climates warmer that temperate climates?
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.
What regions usually has temperatures cooler than temperatures near the equator?
Temperate Zones are usually cooler than the temperatures near the equator.
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 are parts of Ecuador in the tropics cooler than parts of the southern Chile?
Parts of Ecuador are cooler than southern Chile despite being in the tropics due to the influence of altitude. The Andes Mountains run through Ecuador, creating high-altitude regions where temperatures are significantly lower. In contrast, southern Chile, while also mountainous, has a more temperate climate influenced by ocean currents and prevailing winds, leading to milder temperatures. Additionally, Ecuador's proximity to the equator results in less seasonal temperature variation, but the elevation plays a crucial role in cooling certain areas.
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 regions?
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.
Which solid is the most soluble at lower temperatures than at higher temperatures?
In general, most solids are more soluble at higher temperatures than at lower temperatures. However, there are exceptions such as cerium sulfate, which follows the opposite trend and is more soluble at lower temperatures than at higher temperatures.
Compare temperate ocean and tropical oceans?
Tropical waters, while beautiful, have high light levels and are nutrient poor. The murkier temperate oceans are nutrient dense and have low light levels allowing for abundant plankton and algae formation.
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.
