That part of the globe consistently gets the most direct exposure to the sun. We can be very grateful for this. If it were not for our beautiful moon, the earth's movement would be less stable, and the poles would wander (in geological time) to the degree that they would sometimes point toward, or nearly toward, the sun. Some argue that without the moon, conditions on earth would not have allowed for the support of life.
What else can I help you with?
What is warmer cotton or wool?
Wool is generally warmer than cotton, due to the air spaces in wool.
Would you expect high or low air pressure at the poles?
you would expect it to have high pressure
Why is the air temperature near the ceiling of a room tends to be warmer than near th floor?
The hot air is lighter than the cool air so it floats to the ceiling.:)
Can you draw a diagram of a hadley cell?
Yes, warm, moist air rises at the equator and causes cool, dry downdrafts at the tropics (30°N/S).
What occurs in the tropopause?
The tropopause is the boundary layer between the troposphere and the stratosphere, typically characterized by a temperature inversion where temperatures stabilize or increase with altitude. It plays a crucial role in weather patterns, as it acts as a cap that limits vertical mixing of air, thus influencing cloud formation and storm development. Additionally, the tropopause can vary in altitude depending on geographic location and weather conditions, being higher in the tropics and lower at the poles.
When the air moves away from the tropics and towards the poles it becomes?
cool and dry
How does heat move from tropics to poles?
Heat moves from the tropics to the poles through a process called atmospheric circulation. Warm air rises at the equator, moves towards the poles at high altitudes, and then descends back towards the surface at around 30 degrees latitude. This creates wind patterns that help to distribute heat from the tropics to the poles.
When air moves away from the tropics and toward the poles it becomes .?
cool and dry
What is the circulation of tropical air?
The circulation of tropical air is driven by the Hadley cell, a large-scale atmospheric circulation pattern that transports warm air from the tropics towards the poles and cold air from the poles towards the tropics. This circulation plays a key role in shaping global weather patterns and climate.
What are the pressure conditions of the air above poles?
Generally the poles are cold places, receiving Sunlight at a low angle or no Sun at all. This means the air above the poles tends to be cooler than the rest of the planet. Cold air is dense so the pressure of the air at the poles tends to be higher than the rest of the planet. Thus air (cold air) tends to flow away from the polar regions along the Earth's surface to be replaced by light warmer air flowing into the poles at a higher level (this air then cools). There is therefore a general flow of warm air north and south towards the poles from the equator and a flow of cold air from the poles towards the equator. This flow of air spreads out the heat from the Sun, warming the poles and cooling the tropics. In detail this overall flow is restricted by the thickness of Earth's atmosphere and several flow cells form to complete the chain causing Earth's climatic zones.
Why is the troposphere thinner at the poles?
As air gets colder it contracts. While the total amount of air is about the same in any column of the troposphere, at the cold poles that column takes up less space, resulting in a shorter distance to the top of the troposphere.
Where do large scale weather systems develop and why are they important?
Large scale weather systems that transport surface cold air toward the tropics and surface warm air toward the poles.
When air moves away from the tropics and toward the poles it becomes?
colder and denser. This results in high pressure systems forming in polar regions.
What type of air pressure typically occurs in the polar regions?
Generally the poles are cold places, receiving Sunlight at a low angle or no Sun at all. This means the air above the poles tends to be cooler than the rest of the planet. Cold air is dense so the pressure of the air at the poles tends to be higher than the rest of the planet. Thus air (cold air) tends to flow away from the polar regions along the Earth's surface to be replaced by light warmer air flowing into the poles at a higher level (this air then cools). There is therefore a general flow of warm air north and south towards the poles from the equator and a flow of cold air from the poles towards the equator. This flow of air spreads out the heat from the Sun, warming the poles and cooling the tropics. In detail this overall flow is restricted by the thickness of Earth's atmosphere and several flow cells form to complete the chain causing Earth's climatic zones.
When did Aero-Tropics Air Services end?
Aero-Tropics Air Services ended in 2008.
When was Aero-Tropics Air Services created?
Aero-Tropics Air Services was created in 1995.
Which type of air front is always forced up?
A cold front is a type of air front that is always forced up as it moves into an area of warmer air. This lifting process can result in the formation of thunderstorms and other types of severe weather.
