Climate is the long-term pattern of weather in a particular area. Latitude is the greatest factor that determines climate in any given location. Correct answer: C Latitude provides the location of a place north or south of the equator and is expressed by angular measurements ranging from 0° at the equator to 90° at the poles. Latitude determines climate, because different latitudes on Earth receive different amounts of sunlight. Higher latitudes receive less heat than lower latitude areas nearer the equator and average temperatures cool with increasing latitude, producing well-defined climatic zones on the planet.
Tropical climates are characterized by monthly average temperatures of 18 °C (64.4 °F) or higher year-round and feature hot temperatures. Annual precipitation is often abundant in tropical climates, and shows a seasonal rhythm to varying degrees.
Area. Around the equator, from 23.5° further north to 23.5° southern latitude.
Sun path. Sun at the zenith (90°) at least once per year, never lower than 43°
Average temperature. >20 to 30°C.
Minimal temperature. 0°C (no frost)
Maximal temperature. Up to 40°C (seldom more)
Answer:
ISIS is a jihadist terrorist militia. It controlled territory where more than ten million people lived, in Iraq and Syria. However, the terrorist movement is also active in other parts of the world, including Libya, Nigeria and Southeast Asia. It is known for its well-funded propaganda on websites and social media, with videos of beheadings of soldiers, civilians, journalists and aid workers, as well as the deliberate destruction of cultural heritage.
The group appears to have been established in the early years of the Iraq war, while developing ties with al Qaeda. Then, it separated from Al Qaeda to form its own organization, with the aim of establishing an Islamic caliphate in the territories that at some point belonged to that religion. That is, from Spain to the Middle East.
