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

GPT 3.5
For the first question, the statement that best describes why southwest South America has a dry climate is "There is a cold ocean current on the west coast of South America."
For the second question, the location that experiences 24 hours of darkness for many weeks during the Southern Hemisphere summer is "the South Pole."
For the second question, the location that experiences 24 hours of darkness for many weeks during the Southern Hemisphere summer is "the South Pole."
the second answer you placed was wrong
GPT 3.5
My apologies for that mistake. The correct answer for the location that experiences 24 hours of darkness for many weeks during the Southern Hemisphere summer is "the Antarctic Circle" or "locations near the South Pole."
it's still wrong, that's not even one of the answers
GPT 3.5
I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer for the location that experiences 24 hours of darkness for many weeks during the Southern Hemisphere summer is "the North Pole."
