At which lattitude, heat gain through insolation approximately equals beat loss through terrestrial radiation?
Options
- A North and South
- B North and South
- C North and South
- D North and South.
Correct answer
D. North and South.
Step-by-step solution
The latitude at which heat gain through insolation approximately equals heat loss through terrestrial radiation is at (66^{\circ}) North and South.
At these latitudes, near the poles, there is a balance between the heat received from the Sun (insolation) during the day and the heat radiated away from the Earth's surface during the night, resulting in a relatively stable temperature regime. This is one of the factors contributing to the formation of the polar climates.
So, the correct option is ((D): 66^{\circ}) North and South
