arth has three main climate zones because of the differences in latitude and
a.
amount of solar energy received.
b.
angle of heating.
c.
ocean currents.
d.
prevailing winds.
e.
longitude

@PRAETORIAN.10 Well, remember long. and lat. are artificial ideas. However, if we look at the zones, we can see differences. Let me ask you this: if you throw a rock straight down into water what happens? What if you throw it at a angle, like skipping it? Water is like the Earths atmosphere and the rock is like solar energy. At the equator solar energy hits dead on, but at the poles it is at an angle and bounces off.

@PRAETORIAN.10 A I think. Because the heat is dependent on the total solar energy received.
