Answer 2

Answer:

D) solar radiation decreases with distance from the equator

Explanation:

Solar radiation is more intense in regions close to the equator and for this reason, countries close to that line have a hot temperature most of the year, such as the north and northeast of Brazil, for example.

The intensity of solar radiation decreases as it moves away from the equator towards the poles, for this reason, we can say that option D is the correct option.
