Where do warm currents move from?
Warm currents move from the equator to the poles, and the cold currents move from the poles to the equator. :D
How the gravitational acceleration will change when you move from equator to north or south pole on the surface of earth?
The gravitational acceleration will decrease slightly as you move from the equator to the poles due to the Earth's shape (oblate spheroid). This is because the centrifugal force is greater at the equator compared to the poles, which causes a slight decrease in the net gravitational force experienced at the equator.
How does the spacing of parallels change as you move north or south?
The spacing of parallels decreases as you move towards the poles. This is because the lines of latitude converge towards the poles since the Earth's circumference decreases as you move away from the equator.
What way does the ocean water move globally?
Along warm water currents from the equator to the poles.
How does the angle of incidence change as you move away from the equator to the north pole or south pole on the march equinox?
As you move away from the equator to the poles on the March equinox, the angle of incidence of the Sun's rays increases. This means that the sunlight hits the Earth's surface at a steeper angle at the poles compared to the equator, leading to an increase in the amount of atmosphere through which the sunlight has to pass, resulting in more scattering of light and lower intensity of sunlight at the poles.
What changes as you move away from the equator?
As you move away from the equator, temperatures fall. As you move closer to the equator, temperatures rise. Thus, the warmest region of the globe is along the equator, and the coldest is at the north and south poles.
Do you find any difference in the distance between the longitudes from the equator to the poles?
Yes you do. One degree of longitude spans about 69 miles along the equator, but no distance at all at the poles. The longitudes are evenly distributed around the globe, but they all converge (meet) at both poles. So it's easy to understand why they must draw closer and closer together as you move from the equator to either pole.
When and where does air move the fasest and the slowest?
I think air moves the fastest around the equator and slowest around the poles because if you think about it, the equator is always spinning & the poles just stay in one spot. .
As you move north or south from the equator the lines of longitude become what to one another?
closer
What generally happens to the elevation of the tree line going from the equator towards the poles Why?
The elevation of the tree line generally decreases as you move from the equator towards the poles. This is because as you move towards the poles, temperatures become colder and the conditions become less favorable for tree growth, resulting in a lower tree line.
When you move away from the equator where do meridians go?
Meridians converge at the poles and intersect the equator at 90 degrees. They are all great circle lines called lines of longitude. The equator is a line of latitude and the only line of latitude that is a great circle line. As you move away from the equator the lines of latitude describe smaller and smaller circles round the planet as you approach the poles.
What does warm water do to the climate?
Ocean currents move warm water from the equator to the poles and cold water from the poles back to the equator. The heat carried north helps warm the northern countries in the winter time.
