SSC MTS EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -In general, the farther from the equator an area is, the colder and snowier it will be. This is because higher-latitude regions receive less light and energy from the Sun than low-latitude, tropical areas.

Detailed explanation-2: -On a seasonal basis, the high latitudes are the coldest–just as you thought would be the case. After all, when you have a place that during its cold season has both little Sun angle and little daylight, you should expect it to be cold.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mean temperatures of the coldest month range from –28 °C to –50 °C in this belt. Inversions of temperature often occur in surface boundary air layers in winter. Summer is short, but rather warm. In summer in Asia monthly mean temperatures are 12 to 18°C with 8 to 10 °C night minima.
