What is true about the regions closer to the equator?
The regions closer to the equator are hotter and more moist than those further from the equator. They receive more solar energy than the poles.
Does the equator receive direct sunlight and why?
Yes, the surface faces the Sun the nearer you get.
In the us navy what is the badge called when you travel the equator?
In the Navy, when you "cross" the equator you don't receive a badge. During the crossing you go through an initiation to become a "shellback". You receive a small card which explains when and where you crossed the equator and also a large certificate which looks really good up on your wall.
How does a latitude position affect water?
The latitude position affects water in several ways. It influences the distribution of temperature, with water closer to the equator being warmer and water closer to the poles being colder. It also affects the ocean currents, with warm currents flowing from the equator towards the poles and cold currents flowing from the poles towards the equator. Additionally, latitude impacts the amount of sunlight and precipitation that different regions receive, which in turn affects the amount of water available.

Does the ocean currents begins in the ocean?
Cold water currents begin near the poles, and warm water currents begin near the equator. The reason for this is that near the poles the water is cold. (When you think about Santa Clause it helps because Santa Clause is from the North Pole and in the North Pole it's very cold.) Also, the poles receive less direct sunlight. The reason why warm water currents begin near the equator is because it is very warm when your near the equator because the equator receives more direct sunlight. Florida and the Bahamas help me remember why warm water currents are from the equator because they are both near the equator and the water is pretty warm. Also because in the Bahamas there is a very large population of sharks ,though they never come close to humans when you're at the beach, and sharks are coldblooded so they like being in warm water.Search "Are sharks coldblooded" into answers.com and read the answer. It's only four senteces and it's very interesting. It will help you understand my second example.
Can the equator receive more of the suns energy?
yes
What is true about the regions closer to the equator?
The regions closer to the equator are hotter and more moist than those further from the equator. They receive more solar energy than the poles.
What must all personnel receive before beginning an LFX?
an orientation on range operations
Is it true the galapagos island receive both warm and cold ocean currents?
TRUE
What areas do not have seasons because they receive the same amount of sunlight everyday?
The equator
Does the equator receive direct sunlight and why?
Yes, the surface faces the Sun the nearer you get.
What is minimum and maximum orientation of RF antenna?
Antennas have a kind of lobe projecting from where mounted. So by moving the antenna it is possible to receive maximum signal and that is referred as orientation.

Why do the poles receive more solar energy then the equator does?
They don't. The equator receives more solar energy per area unit than the poles do.
