Which region would have a warmer climate - a place located near the equator or a place near the North Pole?
The Equator, and anything that is closest to it, would have a warmer climate than the north pole.
The closer a place is to this the warmer it usually is called?
Equator
Which one is hotter the Equator or the Poles?
On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the 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.
Does the temperature usually get cooler or warmer as you get closer to equator?
The temperature gets hotter as you get closer to the equator and colder as you leave the equator. This has to do with how the sun's rays hit earth.

How are polar and tropic regions?
polar regions are in areas surrounded by poles or frigid zones, climate in these areas are cooler as they receive far less intensity from solar radiation, tropical regions are closer to the equator of the earth and therefore the climate in these areas are warmer

Why is the Earths ocean water warmer at the poles?
I'm not positive on this but I'm pretty sure. The equator is just warmer because the sun is shining brightest on it. The earth is round so the center of the earth or the equator is closer to the sun the tips or the north or south pole. Because the equator is warmer, the oceans are warmer too.
Why is it warmer on the equator than it is 1000 miles north of the equator?
It is warmer near the equator because the sun is pointing directley at the "area" and the Equator is closer towards the center of the Earth. If the Equator were on the North Pole it would not be the same temperature.
Does the temperature usually get cooler or warmer as you get closer to equator?
The temperature gets hotter as you get closer to the equator and colder as you leave the equator. This has to do with how the sun's rays hit earth.
What does the word equatorial mean?
Typical of the regions at the Earth's equator.
Is equator a continent?
No. its an imaginary line that seperates the earth, the closer you are to the equator, the warmer it'll be, subsequently, the further it is, the colder it'll be.
Why does in snow only in some states?
because the more southern states are closer to the equator, and the closer to the equator you get, the warmer it gets. it gets warmer near the equator because the earth's tilt has the sun's light/heat fall onto one place (the equator). the earth's tilt also gives us seasons.
What is warmer near the equator than near the poles?
The equator is the center of Earth. In the center of the Earth it is very hot because of all of the under ground volcanoes.
