The Lower Solar Angles Characteristic of High Latitude Locations Leads

question 1

Multiple Choice

The lower solar angles characteristic of high latitude locations leads to lower levels of insolation because:

• A)the solar radiation has further to travel and so looses its strength
• B)the solar radiation is spread over a larger unit area
• C)the solar radiation is spread over a smaller unit area
• D)the solar radiation must travel through more volume of atmosphere and so more radiation is reflected back to space
• E)the high latitude regions receive solar radiation from the cooler part of the Sun
