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.

∙ 15y agoIt has to be temperature. The closer you get to the poles, the colder it is. Jokingly, the skin colour would change since people from equatorial countrie are darker skinned.

Desert into less arid steppe.

∙ 8y agoBecause the poles are higher then the equator it's self. It's got more of the earths crust I'm it

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.
Why is there so little precipitation at high latitudes?
as you move away from the tropics it means you are moving closer to the equator and since at the equator is warm there will be little precipitation
Does the Gulf Stream move water away from the equator and the Benguela current move some of this same water back towards the equator?
No. The Gulf Stream moves water from the Equator towards Europe. The Benguela current moves cold water up from Antarctica.
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?
secret
Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
What does the ocean move away from the equator?
..,.
If you wanted to enjoy longer periods of daylight in the summertime would you move closer to the equator or farther away from it?
You would move farther away from the equator because of the tilt of Earth's axis.
The surface ocean currents move heat energy away from where?
the equator
What changes occur to gravity as you go further South in the Southern Hemisphere?
As you move from a pole toward the Equator the Earth's spin will act against the force of gravity, so that the net gravity will fell less as you approach the Equator. As you move away from the equator towards a pole (as in moving south, when in southern hemisphere), the spin effect becomes less, so the feel of gravity will increase. The amount of change is slight. Also, the equator is a little farther away from the center of mass than the pole, making the gravitational pull at the equator a little less, as well.
What are some changes of the biological effects of climate change?
If the temperature rises, organisms can move to cooler places, moving away from the equator, causing organisms to start breeding and plant flowering too soon

As you move away from the equator the lines of latitude describe smaller and smaller circles round the planet as you approach the poles.
Do meridians get parallel to one another as they get closer to the poles?
no. They are parallel to each other only at the equator. But as soon as you move away from the equator, they are no longer parallel.

What changes did Pericles introduced to Athens?
to move away from democracy
Does the Gulf Stream move water away from the equator and the Benguela current move some of this same water back towards the equator?
No. The Gulf Stream moves water from the Equator towards Europe. The Benguela current moves cold water up from Antarctica.
Is there a fear of climate change for taigas?
no because it stays in the same place and does not move away or toward the equator
