During the warm seasons, land warms up faster than the water. This causes the isothermal contours to bend south over land masses in the Southern Hemisphere.

Caused by the uneven heating of earth and its atmosphere?
Pole. (The north and south poles. They get less heat than the equator because the sun's rays hit the equator more directly where they hit the poles at an angle and have to be spread over a larger area.)
What are the mechanisms for heat transfer in the atmosphere and where in the atmosphere is each important?
The main mechanism for heat transfer in the atmosphere is known as convection. This is when a heated object transfers some heat to the air, which transfers that heat to a colder area. This phenomena is observed on the earth, although before I explain about that, you have to know that "hot goes to cold" (it's a basic physics fact). Land and air along the equator are heated. The land transfers some heat to the air. Then, because warm air rises, the air rises, and because "hot goes to cold," the air travels to either pole (north or south). Once there, the air transfers some heat to the ground at the pole, and sinks back down beneath the new warm air coming from the equator. That new air pushes the cold air back to the equator, where it is heated, and it all starts over. The equator is like the radiator, and the poles are like the window (if the picture shows up).
The troposphere is most likely to be thickest?
Over the equator.
How does location affect precipitation?
The direct rays of the sun are at the equator, and 80% of the length of that great circle is over water! So we have the heat and the water in one place, the low latitudes, and thus we have lots of evaporation.
What was pangaea and what has happened over the many years to the continents?
Pangea was a super continent, where all our continents were joined together and then were slowly broken apart and made our continents we have today.
Do isotherms bend poleward or equatorward over the continents in the summer?
Poleward
Which two continents are totally over the equator?
north America and asia
What 3 continents cross over the equator?
South America, Africa, and a little bit of Asia
What continents don't have any land area in the southern hemisphere?
North America and Europe have no land area south of the equator. No part of mainland Asia is south of the Equator. However, Indonesia, a chain of large islands that is usually considered a part of Asia, does cross over the Equator.
How do you crouch in perfect dark?
you bend over you bend over
Can dinosaurs bend over?
O course Dinosuars can bend over. There actually many dinoaurs that can bend over for an example, a stegosaurus can bend over and eat some leaves in low lands.
What is the name of the song that goes bend over over over over over?
bend up : slide the chord up bend down : slide the chord down
Is it more humid over the ocean by the equator or over Mexico by the equator?
The ocean. The equator does not cross Mexico.
Is the troposphere the thickest over the equator?
The troposphere is thickest over the equator.
When is the Sun positioned over the equator?
The Sun is positioned over the equator during the equinoxes, which occur around March 20th-21st (spring equinox) and September 22nd-23rd (fall equinox) each year. During these times, day and night are approximately equal in length.
What continents do hummingbirds live in?
The are all over in all continents but Antarctica
