How would it effect the earth if polar bears were extinct?
polar bears are a huge part of the food chain in arctic regions and there would be an overpopulation of many animals.
Why is much of the sun's radiation reflected back in to space by earth?
Such reflection is called the albedo. For the earth it is 30 - 35%
What causes the three main climates zones on Earth?
1: polar zone. 2: greenhouse gas. 3: heat radiation.
Is there a polar region starting with ice?
The Arctic and antarctic are the two polar ice regions. Iceland does exist, but is not considered to be a polar region.
Name three density currents that form in the polar regions?
The Antarctic Bottom Water, North Atlantic Deep Water, and Antarctic Intermediate Water are three density currents that form in polar regions.
How are polar and tropic regions?
polar regions are in areas surrounded by poles or frigid zones, climate in these areas are cooler as they receive far less intensity from solar radiation, tropical regions are closer to the equator of the earth and therefore the climate in these areas are warmer
Why are earth's polar regions never very warm?
Earth's polar regions are the areas of the globe surrounding the poles also known..part of what little sunlight the Polar regions receive, contributing to the cold.
What are the regions immediately surrounding Earth's poles called?
The areas are called the "polar regions" or the "polar latitudes."
How are the northern?
Solar Radiation --answer-- Solar radiation - consisting mainly of electrons and protons and other particles - interacts wit the Earth's magnetic field, generally in the polar regions (north and south) where the field is strongest.
Cold area where the sun's rays strike at a very low angle?
The Polar regions.
How are the northern lights?
Solar Radiation --answer-- Solar radiation - consisting mainly of electrons and protons and other particles - interacts wit the Earth's magnetic field, generally in the polar regions (north and south) where the field is strongest.
In polar areas solar radiation strikes Earth at a?
In polar areas, solar radiation strikes Earth at a small angle. The dissipation of light in the Earth's atmosphere is increased when it falls at a shallow angle.

How do the suns rays strike earth in the polar zones?
Obliquely
Why does more solar energy reach the equatorial regions than the polar regions?
Because the sun hits more directly at the equator. More sunlight is reflected off from the polar regions, and so less sunlight hits in the polar regions. NO! The sun's rays strike the polar regions at a lower angle, therefore delivering the same amount of energy, but spreading it over a greater area. This is what causes lower temperatures in the polar regions.

How does the albedo effect keep the polar regions cold?
it reflects the radiation because the snow is white
