Why is weathering faster than in polar regions?

Weathering is faster in non-polar regions than in polar regions because of the presence of liquid water in the form of rain, which can speed up chemical weathering processes. In polar regions, where temperatures are generally colder, water is typically frozen and therefore not as readily available to participate in weathering processes. Additionally, the freeze-thaw cycle in non-polar regions can also contribute to mechanical weathering, further accelerating the breakdown of rocks.


Why there is more rain in poles?

There is not more rain in the poles. Polar regions tend to receive less precipitation compared to equatorial regions due to lower temperatures and less moisture in the air. The extreme cold temperatures at the poles can result in more snowfall rather than rain.


What are the regions immediately surrounding Earth's poles called?

The areas are called the "polar regions" or the "polar latitudes."


How much rain falls in the polar regions?

Polar regions receive very little precipitation, with annual rainfall typically ranging from 10 to 20 cm. This is primarily due to the cold temperatures which limit the amount of moisture in the air and create a drier climate. Most precipitation in these regions falls as snow.


Where does precipitation always falls as snow?

Precipitation always falls as snow in polar regions, such as the Arctic and Antarctic. The consistently cold temperatures in these regions prevent the snow from melting and transitioning into rain.

What is the annual rainfall for the polar regions?

In the polar regions, the annual rainfall is very low due to the cold temperatures. Instead of rain, these regions primarily receive snowfall. Snowfall can vary depending on the specific location within the polar regions.


How much rain falls yearly in the polar regions?

That's what im trying to find out...lol


What is the rainfall of the polar desert?

There isn't much precipitation (Rain, snow, hail, sleet) in the Polar Regions because the air is too cold to contain much water vapour. In some parts of the Polar Regions it is as dry as the desert because rain has not fallen for a matter of years.


why are polar regions colder then tropical?

Tropical regions are cooler , polar regions are colder

What rain forests do eagles live in?

Eagles don't live in rainforests. Most eagles live in temperate forests and polar regions.
