Where does the greatest amount of solar energy reach the surface of the ocean?
The greatest amount of solar energy reaches the surface of the ocean near the equator. This is because the sun's rays are more direct at the equator, resulting in higher solar intensity. Additionally, the equatorial regions generally experience less cloud cover, allowing more sunlight to reach the surface of the ocean.
What is called regions of comparatively low temperature on the surface of the sun?
Prominence
What are the blotches on the Sun's surface that appear darker than surrounding regions?
sunspots
The temperature of the moon's surface varies greatly from day to night because the moon has?
The moon has no atmosphere
What is the force of gravity on the surface of Jupiter?
It's about 2.36 times that on Earth. The actual value varies a bit, depending on the source of the data.
Why is surface salinity of an ocean higher in the subtropics than in the equatorial regions?
Evaporation is more. Rainfall is less in comparison of equatorial region. In equatorial region, insulation is not much because of clouds.
Why are equatorial areas so hot?
Equatorial areas are hotter than the rest of the earth surface because they get more exposure to direct sunlight, in contrast to polar regions where the sun does not shine for six months at a time.
What makes the equatorial divergence regions biologically productive?
Biologically a very productive region of the ocean. At the equator, there is divergence of surface water because the net Ekman transpor.
How does a mercator map misrepresent the world?
The Mercator map projection does not represent area correctly. the equatorial regions are relatively small and the polar regions relatively large (if Greenland looks larger than Australia then the area proportions are wrong Australia has more than three times the surface area of Greenland).
In what regions of the globe do warm surface currents originate?
southern regions

An epithelial cell can be divided into two functional regions They are the surface and the surface?
An epithelial cell can be divided into basal and apical functional regions.
Microvilli on the surface of the villi greatly increase the internal surface area of the?
small intestine
What is earths equatorial plane?
The equatorial plane is the flat surface perpendicular to the axis of the earth through the largest part - i.e. the equator. Since the axis tilts at 23+ degrees, so does the plane.
When region of earth's surface sink down?
when regions of earth surface sink down
Which current carries warm water to the poles?
Those surface currents that normally (but not exclusively because of the global oceanic conveyor and the position and shape of the continents) flow from the equatorial regions to wards the poles such as:-The Gulf StreamThe Kuroshio CurrentThe Alaska CurrentThe Brazil CurrentThe Agulhas CurrentThe East Australian Current
What are the dark flat regions on the moon's surface?
craters
