The angle of the suns rays is the cause of the differences in temperature at the?
It is the cause of the differences in temperature at the equator and North and South Poles.
What happens to temperature as the angle at which the suns rays strike the earths surface decreases?
it decreases... that's why the two poles are the coldest places on earth... however, considering the earth is a sphere the angle you are talking about is relative to the point on earth which you are referring to... therefore, there will always be a point on the earth's surface where the suns rays are hitting at exactly 90 degrees...
About how often do earths magnetic poles reverse?
Every 250,000 years, when it farts
When is a magnetic field is the strongest on a magnet?
the magnet field is the strongest well the summer solstic when the suns gravitational pull is the strongest
Where is a magnets pull the strongest?
The north and south poles.
Where are the Suns rays least direct on the earth?
At the poles
Where is the suns energy less entense on earth?
At the poles.
When the suns magnetic poles switch positions?
Great switch
How are the suns rays different at the equator compared to the poles?
Only in the angle of incidence.
What happens when the magnetic poles flip?
the north pole becomes the southe pole and your compuses will as change
The angle of the suns rays is the cause of the differences in temperature at the?
It is the cause of the differences in temperature at the equator and North and South Poles.
What is often hidden in the suns glare?
Mercury
What is The Polar Flip Is it something to be concerned about?
Polar Flip is a occurrence when the positions of the Earth's magnetic poles are switched. Theories suggest this can lead to mass extinction and erosion of the atmosphere.
How long is the suns rotation?
25 days for a rotation at the equator, 34 days for a rotation near the poles.
What do strips of low intensity magnetism represent on the ocean floor?
it represents the fact that the magnetic poles of the Earth must "flip" from time to time - the iron in the magma that cools to become the ocean floor aligns with the poles so stripping would show that the poles have changed direction over time. Some scientists suggest the times when the poles "flip" match up with cataclysmic events in the Earths geologic history.

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.
