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:
1. Equatorial zone
2. Midlatitude zone
3. Subarctic zone
4. Tropical zone
Select the answer using the code given below:
Options
- A1 – 3 – 2 – 4
- B1 – 3 – 4 – 2
- C1 – 4 – 2 – 3
- 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 and latitudes.
Tropical zone: Extends roughly from to latitudes.
Midlatitude zone: Located roughly between and latitudes.
Subarctic zone: Extends roughly from to 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 .
Answer: 1 – 4 – 2 – 3
Equatorial zone: Located roughly between and latitudes.
Tropical zone: Extends roughly from to latitudes.
Midlatitude zone: Located roughly between and latitudes.
Subarctic zone: Extends roughly from to 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 .
Answer: 1 – 4 – 2 – 3
