1. Equatorial zone
2. Midlatitude zone
3. Subarctic zone
4. Tropical zone
Select the answer using the code given below:
To solve this question, we need to arrange the given geographic zones based on their latitudinal extent on the Earth's surface in ascending order.
Let's review each of the zones:
- Equatorial Zone: This zone lies around the equator, with a latitudinal extent approximately from 0° to 10° North and South of the equator.
- Midlatitude Zone: This zone typically extends from about 30° to 60° North and South of the equator. These are the temperate zones where most of the world's population lives.
- Subarctic Zone: This zone lies between the midlatitude and polar regions, roughly extending from 55° to 66.5° North and South of the equator.
- Tropical Zone: This zone extends from the equator to approximately 23.5° North and South, marked by the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn respectively.
Now, let's arrange these zones in ascending order of their latitudinal extent. We consider the latitudes starting from the smallest range to the largest:
- Equatorial Zone: 0° - 10°
- Tropical Zone: 0° - 23.5°
- Midlatitude Zone: 30° - 60°
- Subarctic Zone: 55° - 66.5°
Thus, the correct ascending order of the zones according to their latitudinal extent is:
Equatorial Zone, Tropical Zone, Midlatitude Zone, Subarctic Zone.
The correct answer option based on this arrangement is: 1-4-2-3.
This rationale explains why the order "1-4-2-3" for the zones is selected. It ensures the correct sequence when comparing their geographic distribution according to latitude.
