Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles creating?
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles. Warm air expands and cool air contracts and compresses.
What effect do global winds have on climate?
Global winds drive heated air from the equator to the poles. It also drives colder air from the poles to the equator.
Wind patterns move warm air from the equator toward the?
poles
Why is the air pressure the poles higher than the air pressure at the equator?
The reason the tropopause is lower above the poles than the equator is... The time it takes air to cool. The surface air-temperature at the equator is much higher than at the poles, meaning that the air rises further to reach the equilibrium required at the tropopause. Likewise, the air at the poles is cooler, and does not require as much room to rise.
Are the oceans cold at the poles of the equator?
The equator has no poles.

Air near the equator average higher temperatures than air near the poles?
c. sunlight falls in a more vertical position at the equator than near the poles.
Where does the general flow of air from the poles to the equator occur?
in the stratosphere
Where does general flow of air from the poles to the equator occurs?
in the stratosphere
Why are water and air at the equator warmer than water and air at the poles?
Since the equator is the closest point to the sun on earth,that means the heat from the sun heats up the air and water there more than at the poles
Wind patterns move warm air from the equator toward the?
poles
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. .
Why is the air pressure the poles higher than the air pressure at the equator?
The reason the tropopause is lower above the poles than the equator is... The time it takes air to cool. The surface air-temperature at the equator is much higher than at the poles, meaning that the air rises further to reach the equilibrium required at the tropopause. Likewise, the air at the poles is cooler, and does not require as much room to rise.
Is it true that the cold air come from the poles and the warm air comes from the equator?
yes it is true
Is Overall atmospheric motion is warm air to the poles and cold air to the equator true?
Yes
Are the oceans cold at the poles of the equator?
The equator has no poles.
