A) warmer than those between 0° and 20° N and S because the sun's angle is less direct between 20° and 40°.
B) warmer than those between 40° and 60° N and S because the sun's angle is less direct between 20° and 40°.
C) cooler than those between 0° and 20° N and S because the sun's angle is more direct between 20° and 40°.
D) cooler than those between 0° and 20° N and S because the sun's angle is less direct between 20° and 40°.
