Cold air sinks
If the poles received less energy then it would be darker most of the day and year causing a drop in temperature causing the freezing and formation of new glaciers, decreasing the sea level.
What else can I help you with?
On June 21 why is there greater solar energy at the north pole than the equator?
On June 21, the North Pole experiences 24 hours of daylight due to the Earth's tilt towards the Sun. This means that the North Pole receives continuous sunlight and thus greater solar energy compared to the equator, which only receives sunlight during the day.
When it is winter the US receives the least direct energy a compared to the rest of the year. Why does this happen?
During winter in the US, the northern hemisphere is tilted away from the sun, causing sunlight to strike at a lower angle. This results in the sunlight being more spread out and less concentrated, leading to less direct energy reaching the US compared to other seasons when the hemisphere is more directly facing the sun.
What areas on Earth get less solar energy?
In the short term, anywhere where it is night.In the long-term average, the areas around the north pole and the south pole get the least solar energy.
What month does the south pole receive the most light?
The south pole receives the most sunlight in December.
When the north pole has summer the south pole has?
When the North Pole has summer, the South Pole has winter. This is because the Earth's axis is tilted, causing one pole to receive more direct sunlight (summer) while the other pole receives less direct sunlight (winter).
Why it is warmer at the equator at the north pole?
The equator receives more direct light sunlight than the north pole.
Is the north pole a desert?
The technical definition of a desert is an area of land that receives on average less than 250mm of precipitation in a year. The inland Arctic receives less than 150mm and so is indeed a desert (the second largest in the world, with the first being Antarctica).
A pole -vaulter first converts kinetic energy into?
Elastic Potential Energy
What area of earth's surface receives more solar energy the North Pole the South Pole or Northern Hemisphere or the Equator?
The Equator receives 12 hours of sunlight every day all year. The poles only receive six months of sunlight, and the Northern Hemisphere experiences different amounts of sunlight in hours each day, depending on the season.
What happens if you put s pole to the s pole?
they will repel
What is the annual rainfall in the south pole?
The South Pole is classified as a desert due to its low precipitation levels. It receives very little annual rainfall, averaging less than 10 cm (4 inches) of precipitation per year, which mostly falls as snow.
What kind of energy is plate balancing on pole?
The kind of energy involved in balancing a plate on a pole is primarily potential energy. The plate has potential energy due to its height off the ground, and when balanced on the pole, it also has rotational potential energy. As the plate wobbles and shifts, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy and back into potential energy to maintain balance.
