Options
- A. 1 – 3 – 2 – 4
- B. 1 – 3 – 4 – 2
- C. 1 – 4 – 2 – 3
- D. 3 – 1 – 2 – 4
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 code 1 - 4 - 2 - 3. Answer: 1 – 4 – 2 – 3
