The annual temperature range increases at higher latitudes
Is it true that the annual temperature range increases at higher latitudes?
The claim that the annual temperature range increases at higher latitudes is a well-established geographical and climatological fact driven by solar radiation geometry and land-sea distribution, so no formal citation is needed.
Verdict: COMMON KNOWLEDGE · 0 sources for, 0 against · Last checked
The claim describes a fundamental climatological truism regarding latitudinal temperature gradients (continentality/seasonality increases poleward due to insolation angles and the moderating effect of oceans at lower latitudes). Because it is a foundational matter of everyday geographic and meteorological observation, it is classified as common knowledge under Step 0.
