What is/are responsible for creating variations in climate and weather at different latitudes?
a. nothing-climate and weather aren't different at different latitudes
b. microclimates at different latitudes
c. different levels of sunlight at different latitudes
d. el niño southern oscillation

C. Different levels of sunlight at different latitudes

Explanation:

If we take the arrangement of the climate types on Earth, we can easily notice that they are arranged roughly by latitude. The tropical climates are in the lower latitudes, the temperature climates are in the mid-latitudes, while the polar climates are in the high latitudes. The reason for this is that the sunlight doesn't heat every part of the Earth equally. The low latitudes are receiving sunlight at a direct or close to direct angle, thus the sunlight is more concentrated and they are warm.hot all year round. Because of the tilting of the Earth, and because of the rounded shape of it, the sunlight falls at smaller angle in the mid-latitudes, with changes of the angle of fall throughout the year, so there's seasons with drastically different weather conditions. The high latitudes receive sunlight at a very low angle, resulting in dispersal of the sunlight on much greater area, thus heating up the surface very little,. resulting in very cold weather conditions.
