Very cold, very clear and, suprisingly, very dry.

How does air travel at the poles?
The cold dense air at the poles sinks, so the air from the upper level of atmosphere flows in on the top of the increasing weight while creating an area of high pressure at the poles. Now, the air that rises at the equator does not flow directly to the poles.
Why is there high air pressure at the poles?
Because cold air is denser than warm air.
What is the name for the clockwise deflection of air in the cells near the poles?
Polar Circulation
What are the white patches at the poles of Mars?
The white patches at the poles of Mars are the planet's permanent polar ice caps. Like Earth, Mars has ice at its poles.
What do like poles of magnets do?
They repel each other.
Where does cold air from the poles go?
At the poles, cold air sinks. Simple
Which direction does the air currents towards the poles or away from the poles?
Away from the poles because the air near Earths surface is warm.
Why is High Pressure Is At The Poles?
it is because air sinks at the poles
How does air travel at the poles?

When an air mass forms near the poles it has warm air?
When an air mass forms near the poles it has warm air. This will be a large body of air which will have homogeneous moisture.
What do like poles on magnets do?
Like poles repel; opposite poles attract.
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles creating?
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles. Warm air expands and cool air contracts and compresses.
What do two magnets do to each other in a vacuum condition?
The same as in air. Opposites attract. Like poles rapell.
What are the pressure conditions of the air above poles?
Generally the poles are cold places, receiving Sunlight at a low angle or no Sun at all. This means the air above the poles tends to be cooler than the rest of the planet. Cold air is dense so the pressure of the air at the poles tends to be higher than the rest of the planet. Thus air (cold air) tends to flow away from the polar regions along the Earth's surface to be replaced by light warmer air flowing into the poles at a higher level (this air then cools). There is therefore a general flow of warm air north and south towards the poles from the equator and a flow of cold air from the poles towards the equator. This flow of air spreads out the heat from the Sun, warming the poles and cooling the tropics. In detail this overall flow is restricted by the thickness of Earth's atmosphere and several flow cells form to complete the chain causing Earth's climatic zones.
What do 'like poles' do?
Like magnetic poles repel one another.
Does warm air rise to the poles?
yes
The air above the poles is?
cold and sinking
