Do ocean currents move warm air from the equator toward the poles?
Yes
What are the normal ocean circulation patterns?
The normal circulation patterns of the oceans are from east to west in the north. The circulation reverses in the south moving west to east.
How do air masses of different pressures and temperatures move around?
Air masses of different pressures and temperature move around the Earth. The cold air masses that form at the poles move toward the equator, while the warm air masses that form at the equator move toward the poles.
Does weather in the middle latitudes move from east to west?
Weather patterns usually move from west to east. Winds from the west, known as the prevailing westerlies, dominate at mid-latitudes, so a wind blowing all the way from Ireland to the U.S. East Coast is highly unlikely. That said, the global wind pattern is from the east at tropical latitudes from the equator to about 30 degrees north and south of the equator. Therefore, winds do blow to the west and can sometimes carry dust from Africa's Sahara Desert across the Atlantic to the Caribbean or even to the southeastern USA.
What is the cause of differences in air pressure?
Causes air to move from poles toward the equator
Is it true global winds move heat from the equator toward the poles?
No. Heat does move with the wind, but the wind is not mostly towards the poles, as this map demonstrates. The winds going towards the equator all bend to the West because of the Coriolis effect.
What causes the wind to move in the bands of the earth?
The atmosphere has wind patterns
Where do the warm winds near the equator move?
toward your mom?
Weather patterns in the Northern Hemisphere move?
Weather patters in the northern hemisphere, far from the equator, move from west to east. When you get closer to the equator, they'll move east to west.
What are the normal ocean circulation patterns?
The normal circulation patterns of the oceans are from east to west in the north. The circulation reverses in the south moving west to east.
Do ocean currents move warm air from the equator toward the poles?
Yes
How do air masses of different pressures and temperatures move around?
Air masses of different pressures and temperature move around the Earth. The cold air masses that form at the poles move toward the equator, while the warm air masses that form at the equator move toward the poles.
Why do hurricanes strengthen as they move along the equator toward the gulf stream?
they get strength from the heat
What are ocean dead zones?
places along the equator were there is no wind so sailboats can't move till the wind shifts
How does wind move about the world?
Wind is the movement of air caused by the uneven heating of the Earth by the sun. ... Warm equatorial air rises higher into the atmosphere and migrates toward the poles. This is a low-pressure system. At the same time, cooler, denser air moves over Earth's surface toward the Equator to replace the heated air.
If earth did not rotate how would air at the equator move?
The air moves in a circular motion making a swirl around the equator. by: Unknown assasin
Why do current move in circular patterns?
Currents move in a circular patteren because of the strong wind on planet earth.
