What does air do at the equator?
Mostly get hot and rise.
Why does the air over the equator rise?
Probably because it is warmer and hence lighter.
When was Air Equator created?
Air Equator was created in 2003.
Why is the air pressure the poles higher than the air pressure at the equator?
The reason the tropopause is lower above the poles than the equator is... The time it takes air to cool. The surface air-temperature at the equator is much higher than at the poles, meaning that the air rises further to reach the equilibrium required at the tropopause. Likewise, the air at the poles is cooler, and does not require as much room to rise.
What will happen to air over the equator?
the air floats over the equator stupid
What does air do at the equator?
Mostly get hot and rise.
If earth did not rotate how would air at the equator move?
The air moves in a circular motion making a swirl around the equator. by: Unknown assasin
Why does the air over the equator rise?
Probably because it is warmer and hence lighter.
Major air masses rise from the Earth's surface at which degree?
the equator and 60 degrees latitude
What causes the warm moist air to rise?
At the equator, intense sunlight warms the air and causes evaporation of water from the ocean. As the air heats up, it expands and rises.
Does the equator rise or fall?
It does not rise or fall. It is an imaginary line.
What causes the low pressure region that Prevails over the tropics?
Constant heating from the sun causes air to rise, then flow away from the equator. Sinking air in the subtropics spreads out and some of it flows toward the equator. This creates a "cell" (Hadley Cell) of circulation that constantly generates rising air at the equator and therefore low pressure.

Is the jet stream caused by earth's rotation?
Partially. The pressure difference between warm air near equator and cold air near arctic causes air to rise at equator travel north to arctic then down and south back to equator. The rotation of the earth bends that north-south belt - faster at the equator than at the slower rotation at arctic. The result of both is the jet stream.

What air rises because of low density and low pressure?
well if your thinking north then your wrong! its south pole equator or the arctic circle!!
When did Air Equator end?
Air Equator ended in 2005.
