Question

Which of the following hest explains why Latin America has no Truly Cold climate types?

Answer 1

Answer:

Most of Latin America is located in a Tropical zone that receives the Sun's direct rays yearly.

Explanation:

Latin America, as a region, has almost exclusively tropical types of climates, with Truly Cold climates lacking from the region. The closest that climates get to truly cold types are the highest parts of the Andes and the southernmost part of the region in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, but none of them have polar-type characteristics all year round.

This climate situation in Latin America is due to its position relative to the Equator. The Equator passes through the widest part of the region, and the vast majority of the territory north and south falls into the tropical realm, and this is also helped by the fact that north and south of the Equator the territory shrinks and the influence of the ocean is greater. The majority of the region has a tropical wet climate, savanna-like grasslands, and tropical deserts.
