Is D most tropical areas are situated at higher elevations, closer to the sun

Answer 2

Answer;

A. the Sun's rays are nearly perpendicular to Earth's surface.

Explanation;

-Tropical region receives more solar radiation not only because the Sun’s rays hit the region more directly, but also because they travel through less of the atmosphere to get there.

-Some radiation is absorbed as it travels through the atmosphere, so less energy is lost in tropical regions.
