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.
What else can I help you with?
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 does warm ocean water near the equator not melt the earths poles when it travels to the poles?
because it gets cold on the way.
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.
Water is cooler near the poles and warmer near the equator Movement of cooler and warmer water from these regions moderates the global climate what describes the movement of water?
This movement of water is known as ocean currents. Cold water from the poles and warm water from the equator flow and mix together, helping to distribute heat around the Earth. This process helps regulate temperatures in different regions and plays a crucial role in the Earth's climate system.
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.
Why is water cooler near earths poles?
because they are different parts of the earths hemispheres.
Where is most of the earths water?
the ocean
Where is earths water?
In the Ocean.
What percent is frozen at the poles of the earths fresh water?
75%
Of earths available water what percent is frozen at the poles?
75%
Is most of earth's water frozen at the poles?
no. but most of earths fresh water is.
Where do cold water currents begin?
if a current originates near the poles and flows towards the equator, it will be colder than all the water it meets. Hence it will be a cold current. ...conversely, if it originates near the equator and flows towards the pole, it will be warmer than the water it meets and be a warm current. In a Short Summary Cold Ocean Currents Originate From The Poles And Warm Ocean Currents Originate From The Equator
