Why does it tends to be cool at the earths pole?
Because the earth rotates on its slanted axis, the points at the ends of the axis (the poles) are the parts that least often face the sun directly and therefore receive the least amount of sunlight year-round.
Where does the earths axis of rotation intersect with the earths surface?
The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
What layer of the earths atmosphere is closet to earths surface?
The lowest is the troposphere, which is the layer that provides most of our weather. It contains about 80% of the Earth's air, but extends only to a height of about 11 miles (17 kilometers) at the Equator and less at the Poles.
How do the poles help cool earths temperature?
how do the earth's poles help cool the earth's temp
Define global winds?
Global winds are winds that blow From the poles, in which they act as a heat transfer system. Global winds are due to the unequal heating of earths surface
Why do the poles equator heat differently?
The equator is closer to the Sun.The sunlight falls directly through the atmosphere and onto the Earth's surface, and is warmer.At the poles the sunlight is on a slant and has further to travel so cools down faster.
Which of the earths poles gets more sunlight in December?
south pole
How many magnetic poles are there on the earths surface?
2

The geographical North and South Pole - not the magnetic poles.
Which direction does the air currents towards the poles or away from the poles?
Away from the poles because the air near Earths surface is warm.
What is true of Earth's poles?
Earths magnetic and geographic poles are generally not in the same place
Why do the poles receive the less solar energy than the equator does?
Because the middle of the earths surface is the hottest on earth and the equator is right in the middle and the poles is at the end of the earths surfaces
Why is the climate warmer in the tropics than it is at the South Pole?
When sunlight hits the earths surface at the equator the light is almost at 90 degrees to the earths surface whereas at the poles the angle is much less. As such there is more ground for the same amount of sunlight to heat. The less the angle, the colder it is. Other factors are that because the earth is tilted, the poles each have several months perpetual darkness in winter (or daylight in summer) and that snow and ice, being white, will reflect light rather than absorbing it.
What depends on sunlight and latitude?
The closer you get to the poles, the greater the difference between the longest and shortest days becomes ... and if you get closer than 23 degrees you get days (and nights) that last longer than 24 hours.In fact, at the poles you get a day that lasts 6 months.Temperature
Why is latitude a major influence on the climate of a region?
Latitude has a major influence on the climate of a region because the higher the latitude is, the closer to the poles you are getting and less sunlight gets to the poles compared to the equator which always has direct sunlight due to the location of the sun. Because the equator receives more sunlight, the climate is warmer. Because the poles receive less sunlight, the climate is colder.
What are earths poles called?
North and South poles
