The sun is the primary source of temperature change on earth, and latitude place a great role in the amount of sunshine that come to an area. Places at high latitude receive less sunlight when compared to places at low latitude, this in turn determines how warm or cold a region can be. On the other when moving from east to west, it is along longitudinal lines and this can be on same elevation, thus there are no significant changes in temperature.

Therefore sunlight plays a key role in altering the temperature along latitudes.

How would you distinguish between rhyolite porphyry, andesite porphyry, and basalt porphyry

Mrac [35]

Basalt

Formation -basalt is (mineral) a hard igneous rock of varied mineral content formed when lava reaches the Earth's surface near an active volcano

Texture- is fine grained so the individual minerals are not visible

Colour- basalt being dark

Rhyolite

Formation -Rhyolite is a very fine-grained to glassy extrusive igneous rock. Formed in continental plates have volcanic eruptions.

 Texture- very small than grains and are difficult to observe without using a hand lens.

Colour- light in colour whether pink or grey

Andesite

Formation- Andesite is a fine-grained igneous rock that forms when the magma is rises up onto the surface and crystallized quickly

Texture- higher than basalt and lower than rhyolite

Colour -- color is pale due to silica content
