Why annual temperature range increase as latitude increases

Reference no: EM133615813

Problem: Latitude is the most important control on seasonal temperature variation. Figures 14-6 through 14-8 illustrate the differences in annual temperature range at tropical, midlatitude, and high-latitude sites, respectively. Why does the annual temperature range increase as the latitude increases? Although this situation is not always true, the three climographs show decreasing precipitation with latitude. Why is there potential for greater precipitation at lower latitudes?
