What effect do global winds have on climate?
Global winds drive heated air from the equator to the poles. It also drives colder air from the poles to the equator.
Are the oceans cold at the poles of the equator?
The equator has no poles.
Do you find any difference in the distance between the longitudes from the equator to the poles?
Yes you do. One degree of longitude spans about 69 miles along the equator, but no distance at all at the poles. The longitudes are evenly distributed around the globe, but they all converge (meet) at both poles. So it's easy to understand why they must draw closer and closer together as you move from the equator to either pole.
Explain Will 1 kg of sugar be more at poles or at the equator?
Mass. . . . . same at the poles as it is at the equator. Weight . . . more at the poles Cost . . . . . more at the poles
How many degrees latitude is the equator from the poles?
The equator is 90 degrees of latitude from both poles.
Is the atmosphere thinner at the poles than at the equator?
yes the ozone layer is thinner at the poles then the equator
Is the climate coldest near the poles or the equator?
It is the coldest near the poles and hottest near the equator.
Is there any difference between the value of g at the equator and the poles?
it is greater at poles than equator
Which one is hotter the Equator or the Poles?
On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the Poles.
What is one reason why it is colder at the poles and warmer at the equator?
sun hits equator directly and not the poles
Why is there a difference in nautical miles 1 degree longitude between the equator and the poles?
The Earth is not a perfect sphere; it is slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator due to its rotation. This shape, known as an oblate spheroid, causes the distance between lines of longitude to decrease towards the poles. As a result, there is a difference in the number of nautical miles for 1 degree of longitude between the equator and the poles.
Do currents flow faster at the equator or the poles?
At the poles.
