Arrange the following zones in ascending order in terms of their latitudinal extent on the Earth surface:
1. Equatorial zone
2. Midlatitude zone
3. Subarctic zone
4. Tropical zone
Select the answer using the code given below:

Options

  1. A1 – 3 – 2 – 4
  2. B1 – 3 – 4 – 2
  3. C1 – 4 – 2 – 3
  4. D3 – 1 – 2 – 4

Correct answer

C. 1 – 4 – 2 – 3

Step-by-step solution

The latitudinal zones from the equator towards the poles are arranged as follows:

Equatorial zone: Located roughly between 0∘0^{{}^{\circ}} and 10∘10^{{}^{\circ}} latitudes.

Tropical zone: Extends roughly from 10∘10^{{}^{\circ}} to 23.5∘23.5^{{}^{\circ}} latitudes.

Midlatitude zone: Located roughly between 30∘30^{{}^{\circ}} and 60∘60^{{}^{\circ}} latitudes.

Subarctic zone: Extends roughly from 50∘50^{{}^{\circ}} to 70∘70^{{}^{\circ}} latitudes.

Arranging them in ascending order of their latitudes (from lowest to highest) gives the sequence Equatorial zone, Tropical zone, Midlatitude zone, and Subarctic zone.

This corresponds to the code 1−4−2−31 - 4 - 2 - 3.

Answer: 1 – 4 – 2 – 3
