What generally happens to air temperature as we move from the equator to poles?
temperatures starts to decrease in degrees and the days get shorter
Does the earths rotation make prevailing winds go north and south or east and west?
Prevailing winds move from North to South because cold, dense air in the poles moves towards the equator where it is warmer (it moves from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure). Because of the Earth's rotation, it causes air moving towards the poles to curve to the east and wind moving away from the poles to curve to the west.

How can a magnet be used to find direction?
basically in a compass is a needle which is magnetic. The magnetic field of Earth attracts the north pole of the magnet (which is the needle in the compass) to the north pole of Earth. Same thing goes for the south pole of Earth

Does the temperature increase or decrease when you get to the south?
If you are North of the equator.....If you travel north, latitude increases,If you travel south, latitude decreases.If you are South of the equator.....If you travel north, latitude decreases,If you travel south, latitude increases.
Why does tornado activity move north from spring to summer?
Tornadoes often found in areas where cooler air masses collide with warmer ones. As spring moves into summer temperatures increase and so the optimal zone of temperature contrast moves north into overall cooler regions.

How does a compass use magnetism?
A compass would not work without a magnet. Inside the compass is a magnet which moves to line up with the Earth's natural magnetism. The north pole of the magnet is attracted to the south pole of the Earth. As such, the magnet moves to always be lining up in this way. When you use a magnet, you can see this in action as the needle moves around to always point northward and from knowing this, you can tell which way you are facing.
Why is it warmer on the equator than it is 1000 miles north of the equator?
It is warmer near the equator because the sun is pointing directley at the "area" and the Equator is closer towards the center of the Earth. If the Equator were on the North Pole it would not be the same temperature.
