What is the general rule regarding the temperature of currents moving towards and away from the equator?
Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
When winds generally flow away from the equator and towards the poles what transfer of wind does this cause?
an energy transfer, with heat energy moving away from the equator
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.
What affects a riptide?
The amount of water moving toward a beach, and the underwater terrain moving away from the beach.
What is the general rule regarding the temperature of currents moving towards and away from the equator?
Objects that are moving away from us give off what light and objects that aremoving toward us gives what light?
Due to the doppler effect, objects moving toward us will be slightly more red than what they actually are, and objects moving away will be slightly more blue. Think of it like a siren coming toward you and moving away from you. If it is moving toward you, it will be slightly higher than what it really sounds like. If it is moving away it will have a slightly lower pitch.
How does a beluga whale determine whether a fish is moving away from it or toward it?
By using the Doppler effect
Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
Using the Doppler effect astronomers can determine a stars what?
How close and far something is from you.
An apparent shift in the wavelength of light emmited by a light source moving toward or away from an observer is known as?
The Doppler Effect.
When a wave source is moving toward or away from an object the wavelength changes a phenomenon known as the?

Ocean currents moving away from the equator bring what waters?
Ocean currents moving away from the equator bring warm waters.
What happens on earth when it rotate on its axis?
On the surface of the planet, we experience day and night, as the Sun seems to move across the sky from east to west. This is actually the Earth spinning counterclockwise, west to east, as viewed from a point above the North Pole. Since the Earth is moving fastest at the equator, moving objects are affected by the rotation as they move toward or away from the equator. Their paths seem to turn to the right (north of the equator) or left (south of the equator), but these are actually straight paths that curve as the Earth spins. This is called the Coriolis effect.
Do the trade winds occur on the equator?
They are very light if at all, most of the winds at the equator are going straight up due to the amount of heating.
What phenomenon is the basis of police radar and makes light or sound waves increase in frequency if the source is moving toward the observer and decrease if the source is moving away?
Its called the doppler effect.
What changes occur to gravity as you go further South in the Southern Hemisphere?
As you move from a pole toward the Equator the Earth's spin will act against the force of gravity, so that the net gravity will fell less as you approach the Equator. As you move away from the equator towards a pole (as in moving south, when in southern hemisphere), the spin effect becomes less, so the feel of gravity will increase. The amount of change is slight. Also, the equator is a little farther away from the center of mass than the pole, making the gravitational pull at the equator a little less, as well.
