Which of the following is TRUE relative to insolation at the thermopause relative to latitude?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The thermopause is the boundary between Earth's atmosphere and space. Annually, lower latitudes receive more insolation than higher latitudes due to the curvature of the Earth and the tilt of its axis. At the equator, the sun's rays hit the Earth more directly, providing more energy per unit of surface area. At the poles, the sun's rays hit the Earth at an oblique angle, spreading the same amount of energy over a larger surface area. This results in lower insolation at higher latitudes.
