Explanation / Answer

5.

Further north or south of the equator you go, the more different the temperatures are going to change. This is because the sun is constant around the equator and the further you go south or north the less sun there is and the temperatures will change. So the Seasonal variation in temperature tends to change it will get colder.

True

2.

City A maitains a more uniform temperature throughout the year as the average temperature is between 50-60 degrees

3.

Terrestrial infrared radiation is absorbed and radiated primarily by water vapor and, to a lesser extent, by carbon dioxide and other trace gases, thereby slowing the loss of heat to space from the Earth-atmosphere system

answer is infrared

4.

Most (but not all)incoming solar radiation is in the ultraviolet range

answer is ultraviolet
