Wind patterns move warm air from the equator toward the?
poles
Do ocean currents move warm air from the equator toward the poles?
Yes
Are the oceans cold at the poles of the equator?
The equator has no poles.
Why is earth generally warmer near the equator and colder toward the poles?
The equator is very hot. The closer the the equator, the warmer you are! If you are very far away from the equator like the north or south pole, it will be cold.
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.

Do ocean currents move warm air from the equator toward the poles?
Yes
Is the equator the warmest part of the ocean?
Ocean water generally gets warmer toward the equator and cooler toward the poles. However, the warmest water is not usually observed directly on the equator itself.
Why does warm water flow away from the equator?
What describes what happens at the poles?
Cold air is sinking and flowing back toward the equator.
Heat from the equator region moved toward the poles in what process of thermal energy transfer?
Convection
What type of currents carry cold dense water from the poles toward the equator?
Surface currents
Describe the temperature of the currents that flow away from the equator and explain why they are this way?
Heating by the sun near the equator makes the water there warm. In the polar regions, the water is cold. Cold water weighs more than warm and as a result, the warm waters of the equator drift toward the poles. The cold wear from the poles then flows toward the equator to replace the warm water that is leaving.
What type of current typically carries cold dense water from the poles toward the equator?
sureface current
