they recieve more solar energy than the poles do
No, charged particles from the solar wind are funneled towards the polar regions by the Earth's magnetic field. This results in the formation of the auroras near the poles rather than at the equator where the magnetic field lines are more parallel to the surface.
Regions near the equator experience consistently warm temperatures and high humidity throughout the year due to direct sunlight. This area, often referred to as the tropics, is characterized by abundant rainfall and rich biodiversity. Additionally, the equatorial regions have minimal seasonal variation, leading to distinct wet and dry periods instead.
There are two types of rainforests: the tropical rainforest and the temperate rainforest. The tropical rainforest is found near the equator, where the temperate rainforest is found elsewhere.
The regions closer to the equator are hotter and more moist than those further from the equator. They receive more solar energy than the poles.
yes
Yes, air masses that form near the equator are termed tropical air masses due to their warm and humid characteristics. They are typically stable and bring warm weather to many regions.
The climate covers areas in or near the polar regions, such as Antarctica and around the north and south pole, and on the top of the highest mountains.
I dont know
True. Places near the Equator typically have relatively consistent temperatures throughout the year due to their proximity to the Sun. This results in an overall warm and stable climate with minimal seasonal variation.
This statement might actually be true. 25% of the Earth's land surface outside of the polar regions are desert.
Yes, there are mountain ranges near the equator, such as the Andes in South America, the Rwenzori Mountains in Africa, and the Himalayas in Asia. However, the equatorial region is not known for extensive mountain ranges compared to other parts of the world.
In general, the climatic zone is determined by the latitude. The rule is that the farthest you go from the equator (the largest the latitude) the colder it gets. The rainfall near the equator is largest. In the subtropical zones the rainfall is smaller. In the intermediate zones the rainfall is large again. Please see the links for more details.
