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.
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 large winds that circle the Earth occur because the equator does what?
is warmer then the north and the south poles
5. In what direction is the equator from the South Pole?
The equator is North, as is everything else on earth when you are at the South Pole. From the south Pole, every direction is north.The North pole is the northernmost point on Earth. The South Pole is the southernmost point on Earth. The Equator is a line running circumferentially around the Earth and is midway between the poles. The Equator is south of the North Pole and north of the South Pole.All lines of latitude -- including the Equator -- are north of the South Pole.
What side of the equator is colder north or west?
depending on how far away from the equator you go in either direction North or south, it will be equally warm and cold, depending on the season, but the closer to the equator you are the warmer it is.
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.

Is the south warmer than the north?
The south is usually warmer because it is closer to the equator. The closer to the equator the more direct the suns waves are which makes it warmer. In the summer though they are about the same because the Earth is tilted which makes it warmer in the north because it has more direct rays of sunlight.
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 Earth's surface warmer in the north hemisphere it is summer there?
The earth surface is warmer in the northern hemisphere when it issummer there because of the angle of the sun. For the same reason,the Earth's surface is warmer in the southern hemisphere when it isSummer there.
Why is it colder in the north and warmer in the south?
Because of the equator.
Why it is warmer at the equator at the north pole?
The equator receives more direct light sunlight than the north pole.
What are the two main factors in temperature?
Latitude and altitude. Latitude is how far north or south you are from the equator, the closer to the equator you are the warmer it is. Altitude is how high from the earth's surface you are, the higher up you are the colder it is.
Which is is warmer 30 degrees North or 40 degrees North?
the equator is very hot and 30 degrees north is closer to it so it makes it warmer
Why is air along the equator warmer than in other areas north and south of the equator?
it is warmer because the equator gets direct sunlight. other place like the north and the south don't get as much direct sunlight. the equator also get very little to no wind.
