The Agulhas Current is a warm current generated by the Mozambique and East Madagascar Currents. The Alaska Current is a warm-water current along the west coast of North America.
Match the following:
Zone | Temperature Condition
A. Torrid Zone | 1. Moderate Temperature
B. Temperate Zone | 2. Temperature very cold
C. Frigid Zone | 3. Maximum Temperature
A-2, B-1, C-3
A-1, B-3, C-2
A-3, B-1, C-2
A-3, B-2, C-1
The correct answer is C: A-3, B-1, C-2.
Torrid Zone (between Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn) receives direct sunlight year-round and has maximum temperatures. Temperate Zone (between tropics and polar circles) experiences moderate temperatures with distinct seasons. Frigid Zone (around the poles) has extremely cold temperatures year-round due to the low angle of sunlight.
