Which areas receive the most precipitation?
some of the mountain ranges do
What Areas that receive 0-20 of precipitation are called?
Light
Why are areas near the equator wet?
Areas near the equator are typically wet because of the high levels of solar radiation. The intense heat causes the air to rise, forming clouds and resulting in frequent rainfall. Additionally, the warm ocean waters near the equator contribute to the high humidity and precipitation in these regions.
What is the overall precipitation on earth?
Areas near the equator get the most rain. Areas like deserts sometimes never get precipitation. As far as the over all precipitation goes, there are great graphs and charts out there to see what the average precipitation per year on earth is.
In what areas of Mexico would you find the lowest levels of precipitation?
To the north and northwest, where the Chihuahuan and Sonoran deserts are located.
Do areas near the equator experience more condensation and precipitation than areas near the poles?
Yes because the sun is very strong near the equator which means more evaporation happens. The more evaporation the more condensation. AKA the water cycle.
What statements best explains why areas close to earths equator tend to be warmer than areas farther away from the equator?
Areas close to the Earth's equator tend to be warmer than areas farther away from the equator primarily because sunlight is more direct at the equator. The sun's rays hit the Earth's surface at a higher angle near the equator, resulting in more concentrated energy and heat. In contrast, areas farther from the equator receive sunlight at lower angles, causing the energy to be spread out over a larger area and resulting in cooler temperatures.
Areas closer to the equator receive what and what?
areas closer to the equator receive and
What type of data can you collect from a weather station?
Temperatures, Wind Speeds, Climate Zones, Precipitation levels, weather disaster reports, and the amount of humidity levels in certain areas of a region of the Earth.

What kinds of ecosystems occur in areas of high precipitation?
Rain forests and heavy soil erosion are the kinds of ecosystems that occur in the areas of high precipitation.
What is the south equator called?
