A globe of the world titled World Climate Zones. A key lists climate zones by color. Tropical is red, Dry is yellow, Temperate is green, Continental is purple, Polar is blue. The Equator divides the globe in half horizontally. The colors from the Equator to the North Pole are: red, yellow, green, purple, blue. This is duplicated from the Equator to the South Pole.

Warmer climates are found closer to the equator.
The coldest temperatures are south of the equator.
Cooler climates are found near the Tropic of Cancer.

The statement that best explains the relationship between climate and location based on the image is:
Warmer climates are found closer to the equator.
This is supported by the depiction of the climate zones, where the tropical (red) zone is located at the equator, indicating that it has the warmest temperatures. As you move away from the equator toward the poles, the climate zones transition to dry, temperate, continental, and polar, which are characterized by cooler temperatures.
