How does latitude help you investigate where the coldest climates on Earth might be during the Northern Hemisphere summer solstice?(1 point)
Responses

Latitudes 0°–20°S would not receive any energy from the sun during the Northern Hemisphere summer solstice, likely leading to the coldest climates on Earth during that time.
Latitudes 0°–20°S would not receive any energy from the sun during the Northern Hemisphere summer solstice, likely leading to the coldest climates on Earth during that time.

Latitudes closest to Greenwich, England, would experience less-intense solar radiation, or none at all, during the Northern Hemisphere summer solstice, likely leading to the coldest climates on Earth during that time.

Latitudes farthest away from the equator in the Southern Hemisphere would experience less-intense solar radiation, or none at all, during the Northern Hemisphere summer solstice, likely leading to the coldest climates on Earth during that time.

The tropical zone latitudes would have the coldest climates on Earth during the Northern Hemisphere summer solstice because the angle of incidence at the equator is no longer 90°.

Answer 1

Latitudes 0°–20°S would not receive any energy from the sun during the Northern Hemisphere summer solstice, likely leading to the coldest climates on Earth during that time.

This response is incorrect because latitudes 0°–20°S are in the Southern Hemisphere, not the Northern Hemisphere.
