False.Because the Sun shines overhead only between the latitudes twenty three and half degrees north and twenty three degree and half degrees south throughout the year .The countries lying north and south of this area gets less sunshine as the sun never shines overhead.Moreover the sunshine falls over a larger area as you approach poles due to the sherical shape of the earth.This makes the intensity of sunshine lesser and lesser as the sun does not go beyond twenty three and degrees N or S. Hence as the latitude increases, in other words when you approach north or south poles, the temperature naturally decreases

False. Surface temperature is largely impacted by the air temp -- which decreases as you go towards the poles (higher latitude). So surface water temperatured DECREASES as latitude increases...

false. Latitude is "north-south." As latitide rises, one moves further from the equator and therefore surface temperature drops.

False. the further away you get from the hottest part of the eart which is along the equator (which is zero), the colder conditiions will tend to be completely. Haven't you notice huricanes are always stronger when there closer to the equator. That's because they need a HOT, unstable atmosphere to form.

false. why do you think that there are ice caps on the north and south pole. because the temperature decreases. not increases.
