The Tropic of Cancer
The Tropic of Cancer, located at approximately 23.5 degrees north latitude, is the line of latitude that passes through Mexico and reflects the generally warm temperatures experienced in the country.
No, temperatures generally decrease as latitudes increase. The equator (30° to 40°C) is 0° latitude while the poles (0° to -40°C) are at 90° latitude.
Latitude/longitude
20 degrees south latitude passes through Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, and Bolivia
Temperature is an abiotic factor that is closely dependent on latitude in a biome. As latitude increases, the temperature generally decreases due to the angle of sunlight reaching the Earth's surface. This influences the overall climate and vegetation types present in a biome.
Temperature generally decreases with increasing elevation due to the decrease in atmospheric pressure, which results in cooler conditions. As for latitude, temperature tends to decrease towards the poles due to the angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface, causing differences in heating and cooling patterns.
The rule of latitude states that temperature generally decreases as you move from the equator towards the poles. This is due to the curvature of the Earth and the angle at which sunlight strikes the surface.
Yes, the annual temperature range generally decreases as latitude increases. This is because areas closer to the equator experience more consistent temperatures throughout the year, while areas closer to the poles have more extreme temperature fluctuations between seasons.
latitude and longitude
Negative latitude indicates latitude south of the equator, or the southern hemisphere. Negative longitude indicates longitude west of Greenwich, or the western hemisphere.
Latitude Affects temperature.
Yes. Since latitude is measured in degrees north or south of the Equator (0° latitude), the lower latitude numbers are closer to the tropics, while the higher ones are comparatively closer to the poles. Although it is not always true, locations at "lower" latitude numbers will generally be warmer than locations at "higher" numbers.
