Why is the South Pole cold than the North Pole? 【M1】__
Both polar regions of the earth are cold, primarily
because they receive far less solar radiation than the
tropics and mid-latitudes do. In either pole the sun 【M2】__

dark. Moreover, most of the sunlight that does shine 【M3】__
on the polar regions reflected by the bright white surface. 【M4】 __

on a continent. Surface of the ice sheet at the South Pole 【M6】__
is more than 9000 feet in elevation--more than a mile
