Would air pressure be greater at the south pole or at the equator why?

Though it is counterintuitive, extreme cold actually lowers air pressure rather than raises it. This may be due to changes in the weather patterns. Actual observations at Amundsen-Scott Station (elevation 2835 m) show a mid-winter average barometric pressure of about 507 Torr, 23% lower than the 548 Torr expected at the same elevation at 30 degrees of latitude.

Would the tropic of Capricorn be located north or south of the equator?
It is south of the equator
What is the direction around a high pressure system?
clockwise north of the equator and counterclockwise in the south.
If you wanted to travel from antarctica to the equator in would you head?
Easy, north! The equator is also zero degrees latitude.
What would happen if the earth spun north to south instead of east to west?
The sun would rise in south and set in the north. Also the poles would become the equator and the equator the poles.
Is the equator north or south of the equator?
it is the south

Is South American south west or both of the equator?
The equator crosses South America. The greater part of the continentis south of the equator, and the lesser part is north of it.There is no such thing as 'east' or 'west' of the equator.
Is there a greater desert to the north or south Equator?
I believe northern hemispheres contain the "greater deserts"
Would the tropic of Capricorn be located north or south of the equator?

Is most of South America north or south of the equater?
Most of South America is south of the equator.South of the equator
If you live in Texas what way would you have to travel to get to the equator?
Texas is above the equator.
Is there a greater area of desert to the north or south of the equator?
yes no maybe how am i suppose to know
Is there a greater area of desert to the north or south of equator?

Is air pressure greater at the south pole why?
no they are equal
What is the direction around a high pressure system?
clockwise north of the equator and counterclockwise in the south.
Is the equator 180 degrees latitude?
The equator is zero latitude. 90° north latitude is the north pole. 90° south latitude is the south pole. There is no latitude greater than 90° degrees north or south on Earth.
Why the latitudes not greater than 90degree?
Latitude is measured from the equator (zero) to the North or South Pole (90 degrees). Going beyond 90 degrees, you would pass the North Pole (or South Pole).
