Document Summary
1: describe the relationship between the uv index (the colored bar in figure 1) and latitude (y-axis). Uv rays become less intense as you travel north or south of the equator. In other words the further away from the equator you are the less intense the uv rays become. The intensity of uv rays interacts in the way it does with latitude because more sunlight reaches the planet the closer to the equator you are: find your approximate location on the map. Since i live in minnesota my uv index for that day would be about a 5 or a 6: look at the regions that receive the most-intense uv (light pink). Site a specific piece of evidence from the map that a factor other than latitude was contributing to uv intensity on this day. Genetics determines the type of melanin (i. e. , brown/black eumelanin or red/brown pheomelanin) and the amount of melanin present in an individual"s cells.
