Arrange the following zones in ascending order in terms of their latitudinal extent on the Earth surface : 1. Equatorial zone 2. Midlatitude zone 3. Subarctic zone 4. Tropical zone Select the answer using the code given below :

The latitudinal extent of geographical zones is determined by the span of degrees they cover. The Equatorial zone typically extends from 0° to 10° (a 10° span) [1]. The Subarctic zone is generally defined as the narrow belt between 55° and 60° (a 5° to 10° span depending on the classification). The Tropical zone (Torrid Zone) extends from the Equator to the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn (23.5° N/S), but when excluding the equatorial core, the tropical belt itself spans approximately 13.5° in each hemisphere. The Midlatitude (Temperate) zone is the largest, typically spanning from 35° to 55° or 30° to 60°, covering a 20° to 30° extent. Therefore, the ascending order of latitudinal width is Equatorial (10°), Subarctic (approx. 5-10°), Tropical (approx. 13.5°), and Midlatitude (20-30°).
