Question
Chapter 45.1, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To write:
Presence of wide band of similar temperature at the tropics.
Introduction:
Global patterns of atmospheric circulation and precipitation are mainly influenced by solar energy. Generally, Temperature increases as the amount of solar energy or solar radiation increases. At the tropics, the temperature remains almost the same and does not tend to increase as it moves towards the equator.

The figure above (Fig. 1) is a 2-dimensional representation of a space for frog (in the absence of a competing species) based on the combination of two variables: moisture (% Relative Humidity [RH]) and temperature (°C). Size of the frog icon corresponds to how well it does (in terms of ecologic fitness) at various positions along these two environmental gradients. Flattened frogs indicate dead frogs; environmental conditions which are unsuitable for the frog's survival and reproduction. Italicized letters and numbers (on top) represent coordinates.
