Which of the following climatic controls is the most important ___________.

• A. Latitude
• B. Altitude
• C. Longitude
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A Latitude

The most important climatic control is latitude. Latitude affects the temperature of a place. The places situated at higher altitudes which are far from equator receive lesser sunlight and places which are located towards the equator which is a 0⁰ latitude receives more sunlight and are hotter than the places located at higher latitudes. Sunlight also affects precipitation or rainfall.

Thus latitudinal position of a regions decides the climate of the place.
