How does the unequal heating of Earth's surface affect the ocean currents?
It affects ocean currents because the sun hits the equator directly unlike towards the poles where they get less sun because they are farther away.
When the air moves away from the tropics and towards the poles it becomes?
cool and dry
What is the general rule regarding the temperature of currents moving towards and away from the equator?
The distance between the longitudes decreases towards?
The north and south poles or away from the equator. At the poles the distances between lines of longitude are zero.
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

How currents move in the different hemispheres?
North and south poles cause the clockwise rotation that then makes currents which come toward the land and the "repel" away

What is the general rule regarding the temperature of currents moving towards and away from the equator?
Describe the temperature of the currents that flow away from the equator and explain why they are this way?
Heating by the sun near the equator makes the water there warm. In the polar regions, the water is cold. Cold water weighs more than warm and as a result, the warm waters of the equator drift toward the poles. The cold wear from the poles then flows toward the equator to replace the warm water that is leaving.
What direction do convection currents move?
Warmer material in a convection current rises upwards.
Conducts electrical currents towards the cell body?
The dendrite conducts electrical currents towards the cell body. The axon terminal on the other hand conducts impulses away from the cell body.
The distance between the longitudes decreases towards?
The north and south poles or away from the equator. At the poles the distances between lines of longitude are zero.
How do you use spectral lines to determine if a galaxy is moving towards earth or away from earth?
The spectral lines move towards one direction, or towards the other direction, depending on the relative speed.
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
A boy jumps out of a moving bus there is danger for him tofall towards the moving bus or away from bus or in the direction of motion or opposite to the direction of the motion?
In the direction of
What direction do tides moves?
At the simplest level, the tides point towards AND away from the moon. (The solar tides point towards AND away from the sun.) The Earth's rotation causes these 2 (or 4) high points to move towards the west.
