Identify the explanatory and response variables in the following situation:

there is a strong negative correlation between latitude above the equator and average temperature on december 21.

a: explanatory: latitude
response: daylight hours
b. explanatory: latitude
response: average temperature
c. explanatory: daylight hours
response: latitude
d. explanatory: time of year
response: daylight hours

You can identify two variables from the statement: between latitude above the equator and average temperature, these are the two variables they looked at "latitude" and "average temperature".

The response variable is whatever we are interested in measuring.In this case. it's the average temperature. And the explanatory variable is what "explains" the value of the response of variable. So the explanatory variable is latitude. 

An easy to identify these is to think of them like being dependent/independent variables, so the altitude is fixed and is your dependent variable, example explanatory variable,and the average temperature is dependent on latitude, so is the dependent variable example response variable.

Answerprediction;

The latin america and caribbean (lac) region encompasses countries with great environmental issues. the southern portion of central america to the caribbean's part, including south america presses the major environmental issues like deforestation and   habitat subsistence. the requirement of the whole country and the pressure of export is being done by this region as it possess the soil with highest fertility rate and maximum strength which could us in modifying the various technology for the humankind. because of deforestation, we take animal shelters away from them, so the major issue occurs again which we known as "habitat subsistence". government has to set the target according to the capacity of a certain region which would not affect the environment. then, businesses and organizations have to understand their roles and need to divide the task into several groups (one for each, according to their natural capacity), individuals can the government or statuary body by just following their guidelines and never harm or exploit the environment for our own use.i really hope this you out!
