The greater the latitude, the colder the climate.
A latitude of 0o has a climate of extreme temperature ranges.
There is no relationship between latitude and climate.
The lower the latitude, the colder the climate.

Answer 1

The answer is the first one ~ The greater the latitude the colder the climate.

Answer 2

The best answer choice to the question: Which of the following best describes the relationship between climate and latitude, would be: A: The greater the latitude, the colder the climate.

Step-by-step explanation:

The explanation is best given not with the understanding of latitudes and climate, but rather, the position of the Earth in regards to the Sun, and its movements, that will bring places further away from the equator (latitude 0), closer to the direct rays of the sun, or further away. However, it is also important to know that as locations move away from the equator, towards higher latitudes, meaning, towards the poles, these places will have lower temperatures, than those on the equator, and definitely will have temperature changes, going from high, to low, depending mostly, on Sun exposure, due to the changes in position of Earth. This also explains why places at greater latitudes experience seasons, and not those at the equator.
