In what way does ocean water move globally?
Along cold water currents from the poles to the equator.
Why is there a difference in nautical miles 1 degree longitude between the equator and the poles?
The Earth is not a perfect sphere; it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator due to its rotation. This shape, known as an oblate spheroid, causes the distance between lines of longitude to decrease towards the poles. As a result, there is a difference in the number of nautical miles for 1 degree of longitude between the equator and the poles.
How does a locations latitude determine how warm or cold it is?
The latitude can be thought of as the distance from the equator. 0 degrees latitude is the equator, which is typically warmer than locations closer than the poles. As you move away from the Equator and towards the North or South poles, the weather tends to be colder. In contrast, the region between the poles and the equator often has a greater temperature range variation.
Wind patterns move warm air from the equator toward the?
poles
Do ocean currents move warm air from the equator toward the poles?
Yes
What way does the ocean water move globally?
Along warm water currents from the equator to the poles.
Where do warm currents move from?
Warm currents move from the equator to the poles, and the cold currents move from the poles to the equator. :D
What does warm water do to the climate?
Ocean currents move warm water from the equator to the poles and cold water from the poles back to the equator. The heat carried north helps warm the northern countries in the winter time.
In what way does ocean water move globally?
Along cold water currents from the poles to the equator.
Did mass change when you move from equator to poles?
No. Your mass doesn't even change when you move from the equator to the moon.

How the gravitational acceleration will change when you move from equator to north or south pole on the surface of earth?
It will increase very slightly at the poles compared to the equator, because the Earth's radius at the poles is slightly less than it is at the equator.
Where do cold water currents begin?
if a current originates near the poles and flows towards the equator, it will be colder than all the water it meets. Hence it will be a cold current. ...conversely, if it originates near the equator and flows towards the pole, it will be warmer than the water it meets and be a warm current. In a Short Summary Cold Ocean Currents Originate From The Poles And Warm Ocean Currents Originate From The Equator
How do air masses of different pressures and temperatures move around?
Air masses of different pressures and temperature move around the Earth. The cold air masses that form at the poles move toward the equator, while the warm air masses that form at the equator move toward the poles.
