Latitude

Explanation:

Latitude is the geographic coordinate that determines the North-to-South location of a place in the Earth.

The Equator is right in the middle of the Earth, and areas around the equator tend to be warmer than areas far from the Equator.

The main reason is that mid-latitude regions are not affected by seasonal climate variation that is caused by the effect of Earth's titled angle on sunlight distribution.

While northern areas receive a lot of sun in the summer, and only a bit of sun in the winter, central equatorial areas receive a stable amount of sunlight throughout the year.

since there isn't any suggested answers i will give you the reason and hopefully you can figure it

south africa, or rather all of africa, has not been in the location in which it is nowadays throughout the geological past. after the super-continent pangaea started to break apart, gondwanaland, in which was africa, moved further south, and parts of it came to be very close to the south pole. because the climate in this part of the world is very cold due to the very dispersed sun rays in there, what is now south africa, started to freeze, and the conditions were right for the formation of glaciers. the glaciers existed up until the period when gondwanaland started to break apart and what is now africa started to move towards north, sp it warmed up and the glaciers melted.
