What else can I help you with?
Why do temperature gradually become cooler as you go toward the poles?
Temperatures gradually become cooler as you go toward the poles because they don't get enough sunlight to warm up, so they stay cold.
When air moves away from the tropics and toward the poles it becomes .?
cool and dry
What takes the place of warm air?
As the warm air rises and moves toward the poles,cooler air moves from the poles toward the equator to replace it. Resource:Factors of Weather:Air movement Close to the Earth (science sheet)
What must happen to keep the poles from steadily cooling off and the tropics from heating up over time?
To maintain the Earth's temperature balance, a continuous exchange of heat through atmospheric and oceanic circulation is essential. This process redistributes warm air and water from the tropics toward the poles while drawing cooler air and water from the poles toward the equator. Additionally, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere help trap heat, preventing extreme temperature fluctuations. Without these mechanisms, the poles would cool, and the tropics would heat up, disrupting the planet's climate system.
Is the equator the warmest part of the ocean?
Ocean water generally gets warmer toward the equator and cooler toward the poles. However, the warmest water is not usually observed directly on the equator itself.
What general trend does a world isothermal map show?
A world isothermal map shows the distribution of temperature around the globe in a specific timeframe. It helps to visualize regions of warm and cold temperatures and identify patterns such as temperature gradients between different latitudes or the presence of thermal anomalies due to climate events.
What is the temperature if it is far from the equator?
The temperature typically decreases as you move farther away from the equator. This is because areas closer to the poles receive less direct sunlight, leading to cooler temperatures.
Wind patterns move warm air from the equator toward the?
poles and cold air from the poles toward the equator. This movement creates global wind patterns that help regulate temperature and climate around the world. The Coriolis effect deflects these winds to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere, influencing their direction and strength.
Has latitude and longitude to do with temperature?
Latitude does influence temperature. The higher your latitude is, the cooler your climate. The inhabitants of our planet nearer to the equator feel more of the blazing sun than those in North and South Poles.
What causes ocean water near the poles to be colder than ocean water near the equator?
the sun's rays strike the water at a angle at the poles APEX
During anaphase of meiosis do the chromosomes have one or two chromatids as they move toward the poles?
During the anaphase stage of mitosis the two chromatids become separate chromosomes. The chromatids are pulled apart and move toward their centrosomes. As they move toward the poles, the centrosomes go first, followed by the chromatids, forming a â??vâ?? shape.
The atmosphere balances the unequal heating of earth's surface by moving?
Warm air toward high latitudes and cool air toward the equator
