Test: Development (Hard) - Question 18

A: Ecological productivity decreases from the equator towards the poles.

R: Insolation rapidly decreases from the equator towards the poles.

Detailed Solution for Test: Development (Hard) - Question 18
Explanation:
A: Ecological productivity decreases from the equator towards the poles.
- Ecological productivity refers to the ability of an ecosystem to produce biomass or organic matter.
- It is generally observed that ecological productivity decreases as we move from the equator towards the poles.
- This is because the availability of sunlight, temperature, and growing season length decreases with increasing latitude.
- The lower temperatures and reduced sunlight in polar regions limit plant growth and ultimately reduce ecological productivity.
R: Insolation rapidly decreases from the equator towards the poles.
- Insolation refers to the incoming solar radiation or sunlight received by the Earth's surface.
- Insolation is highest at the equator and decreases as we move towards the poles.
- This is primarily due to the curvature of the Earth's surface and the angle at which sunlight reaches different latitudes.
- At the equator, sunlight strikes the Earth's surface more directly, providing higher solar energy.
- As we move towards the poles, the sunlight has to pass through a larger portion of the Earth's atmosphere, resulting in scattering and absorption, leading to a decrease in insolation.
Conclusion:
- Both statement A and R are true.
- Statement R provides the correct explanation for statement A.
- Therefore, the correct answer is option A: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
