Energy is not distributed from the Equator. All forms of energy that come to Earth are distributed as equally as possible, but because of the Earth's shape, the Equator gets more.

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.
Are the oceans cold at the poles of the equator?
The equator has no poles.
When winds generally flow away from the equator and towards the poles what transfer of wind does this cause?
an energy transfer, with heat energy moving away from the equator
Explain Will 1 kg of sugar be more at poles or at the equator?
Mass. . . . . same at the poles as it is at the equator. Weight . . . more at the poles Cost . . . . . more at the poles
The area around the equator is usually hot What happens to the temperature at the poles?
the temperature at the poles are cold due to albedo which is that light substances reflect heat back into the atmosphere
Why less heat is falls on poles?
because the equator gets the most

Why is ocean water near the equator warmer than ocean water at the poles?
The ocean receives most of its heat along the equator, where incoming solar radiation is about double that received at the poles. Hence, sea surfaces are much warmer along the equator than at the poles.
Are the oceans cold at the poles of the equator?
The equator has no poles.
Is heat energy redistributed globally?
Solar radiation (heat energy) is redistributed globally by wind and ocean currents.
Heat from the equator region moved toward the poles in what process of thermal energy transfer?
Convection
Is it true global winds move heat from the equator toward the poles?
No. Heat does move with the wind, but the wind is not mostly towards the poles, as this map demonstrates. The winds going towards the equator all bend to the West because of the Coriolis effect.
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
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.
When winds generally flow away from the equator and towards the poles what transfer of wind does this cause?
an energy transfer, with heat energy moving away from the equator
