What else can I help you with?
Why does warm ocean water near the equator not melt the earths poles when it travels to the poles?
because it gets cold on the way.
Why does it tends to be cool at the earths pole?
Because the earth rotates on its slanted axis, the points at the ends of the axis (the poles) are the parts that least often face the sun directly and therefore receive the least amount of sunlight year-round.
How do the mathematical values of the Tropic lines of latitude relate to Earths axis tilt?
the amount of sunlight each area gets
What month of the year gets the least sunlight?
In the southern hemisphere: June In the northern hemisphere: December
When going closer to the poles the climate gets warmer or colder?
As you move closer to the poles, the climate generally gets colder. This is due to the angle at which sunlight reaches the Earth; polar regions receive less direct sunlight, resulting in lower temperatures. Additionally, the longer nights and shorter days during winter contribute to the overall chilliness of these regions.
Why is latitude a major influence on the climate of a region?
Latitude determines how much solar energy a region receives. The angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface affects temperature and weather patterns. Regions closer to the equator receive more direct sunlight and tend to have warmer climates, while regions closer to the poles receive less direct sunlight and tend to have cooler climates.
What type of soil or sand gets hottest in sunlight?
Sand gets hotter in sunlight.
Why does the equator receive more direct sunlight than the poles receive?
This is because the surface more directly faces the sun (on average) the nearer to the equator you get. The sunlight that hits the poles often is at an extremely oblique angle. To see this effect for yourself, shine a flashlight at a globe or ball and observe how much more of a "direct hit" is received by the part of the sphere that shows the flattest area to the light source.
What hemispheres revives fewer direct rays from the January than in July?
Northern. That's why it gets colder in winter in the north.
What happens when the water reaches the poles?
it gets cold and freezes
What location in the world might have 19hrs of sunlight?
As you get closer towards the pole, the difference between the sunrise and sunset gets greater during the solstices. not too close to the poles though. the poles have 6 months day and 6 months night. 19 hours of day can be seen during summer only.
Why is the temperature at the equatorwarmer than the temperature at the poles?
In Equator Sunlight falls perpendicularly, while at poles it falls at a steep angle, thus decreasing in intensity An easy way to understand this is as follows : In the morning, the sunlight falls at a steep angle. Thats because that place is curved away from the sun. So mornings are cooler and darker. As the day progresses the angle becomes more perpendicular and it gets brighter and warmer. At the poles the entire day is like a morning. The Sun never got a chance !
