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^ and 10^ latitudes. Tropical zone: Extends roughly from 10^ to 23.5^ latitudes. Midlatitude zone: Located roughly between 30^ and 60^ latitudes. Subarctic zone: Extends roughly from 50^ to 70^ 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
