Temperatures at high latitudes are usually lower than temperatures near the equator because <span>the solar energy must be spread over a larger area.
</span>
<span>In the tropics, places near the equator, temperature is high because there is a net energy surplus. Net energy surplus occurs because the amount of sunlight absorbed is larger than the amount of heat radiated.

In the polar regions, places near the pole or high latitudes, temperature is low because there is an annual energy deficit. The annual energy deficit occurs because the amount of heat radiated to space is larger than the amount of absorbed sunlight.</span>

Why do only a tiny percentage of living things ever become fossils?
OLga [1]
Fossilization is a process that requires certain conditions so that it can take place. The climate is very important, a hot and wet place is not a place where there's a chance of finding fossils, while the places with permafrost are a much better candidate because the bacteria can not dissolve the organisms. The pressure also can play a vital role. A place that manages to keep the organisms safe from outside influence, like the tar pits, are excellent preservers. Also the structure of the organisms play a key role, a boneless organism is very hard to preserve and be fossilized, while an organism with bone structure has a bigger chance of being preserved.
