Question

Which is one factor that contributes to the formation of polar, temperate, and tropical zones?

Answer 1

Answer:

The angle of the Sun's rays:

At about June 21 the sun is directly overhead at about 23 deg north of the equator

On about Dec 21 the sun is directly overhead at about 23 deg south of the equator

It is this tilt 23 deg to the ecliptic (path of earth about sun) that causes the major temperature changes on earth
