• B. Hypolimnion - thermal stratification in lakes
• C. Ozone layer - stratosphere

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

From ${23.5}^0$N to ${66.5}^0$N and between ${23.5}^0$S and ${66.5}^0$S are the temperate zones, where there are clear spring/summer/fall/winter seasons. The north temperate zone extends from the tropic of cancer to the arctic circle. The south temperate zone extends from the tropic of capricorn to the antarctic circle. Between ${23.5}^0$S and ${23.5}^0$N latitude we have the tropics - where high temperatures are the norm, and the sun can beat down from directly overhead once or twice each year.
