Why do the poles receive the less solar energy than the equator does?
Because the middle of the earths surface is the hottest on earth and the equator is right in the middle and the poles is at the end of the earths surfaces
What do you call the line through the earths poles?
the equator daaa
How do the waters of the earths ocean help distribute heat from one place to another?
The heat transfers through the entire ocean, since its technically one big global ocean.
Which best describes earths exact shape Slightly flattened at both equator and poles bulging at equator and polesflattened at equator and slightly bulging at poles flattened at poles and slightly by?
it is a mushed 3d sphere
Why is ocean water near the equator warmer than ocean water at the poles?
The ocean receives most of its heat along the equator, where incoming solar radiation is about double that received at the poles. Hence, sea surfaces are much warmer along the equator than at the poles.
Why is the Earths ocean water warmer at the poles?
I'm not positive on this but I'm pretty sure. The equator is just warmer because the sun is shining brightest on it. The earth is round so the center of the earth or the equator is closer to the sun the tips or the north or south pole. Because the equator is warmer, the oceans are warmer too.
How do temperatures at Earths equator compare to the temperatures at the poles?
The temperatures at the equator tend to be warm to hot (except where there are mountains); the temperatures at the poles tend to be below freezing.
What is the maximum degree of latitude you can be away from earths equator?
90 ... at the north and south poles.
What way does the ocean water move globally?
Along warm water currents from the equator to the poles.
The imaginary circle around the earths globe equidistant from both the north and south poles?
equator
Two distinct pressure zones between the equator and the poles?
Earths Rotation The Coriolis effect
What causes the global air current between the equator and the poles?
earths tilt (apex)
