What else can I help you with?
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.
Does the land and water near the earths poles ever receive the direct rays of sun?
Yes - for half the year.
What causes ocean water near the poles to be colder than ocean water near the equator?
the sun's rays strike the water at a angle at the poles APEX
Which direction does the air currents towards the poles or away from the poles?
Away from the poles because the air near Earths surface is warm.
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.
If salinity decreased at the poles the water near the poles would?
decrease in density and become water vapor
Why the aurora occurs only near earths north and south poles?
because Ilona van Dantzig is in the way
Is the ocean water near the poles less salty?
Yes, ocean water near the poles is less salty compared to ocean water near the equator. This is because melting ice and precipitation in polar regions dilute the salinity of the water.
Do oceans near the poles tend to be saltier?
The water is saltier at the poles, and less salty at the equator.
Do whales live near both poles?
Killer whales live in cooler waters like the North and South Pole.
What are large masses of flowing ice that are typically found near earths poles and in other cold regions called?
These are glaciers.
Why are there more phytoplankton near the earth's poles?
More phytoplankton is found near the Earths poles because the colder water brings more nutrients to the surface and the plankton thrives. If the water is too warm then the nutrients aren't brought up and the plankton dies.
