Which is true of the regions near earth’s equator? they are physically farther away from the sun than the poles. they stay cooler than the poles. they receive less sunlight than the poles. they receive more solar energy than the poles.

Option D, They receive more solar energy than the poles.

Explanation:

The sunlight reaching equator are more direct as compared to the light reaching the poles. Since the earth is tilted at its axis, the sun rays strike the poles at a slant and thus the angle of incidence at poles is much smaller than that of angle of incidence at the equator.  

The more slant the sun rays, the less heating effect is produced and hence poles are cooler than the equator.  

Therefore, Option D is correct since Equator receives more heat as compared to the poles.

1. (1.2kw)x(15/60hours) = .3kwh --> a

2. (5kw)x(90/60hours)x(8cents/kwh) = $0.60 --> d

3. microwave --> 1200 watts = (1.2kw)x(6/60hours) = .12kwh

coffee-maker --> 900 watts = (.9kw)x(10/60hours) = .15kwh

therefore, it requires more energy for the coffee-maker to do the same amount of work.

so the answer is a.

b) the inside picture would look at a very high temperature in a very low ph
