Insofar as the South Pole is concerned, the winds are called katabatic winds, pulled down from the polar plateau by gravity and the circulation of the planet around its axis.

Does the earths rotation make prevailing winds go north and south or east and west?

Prevailing winds move from North to South because cold, dense air in the poles moves towards the equator where it is warmer (it moves from an area of high pressure to an area of low pressure). Because of the Earth's rotation, it causes air moving towards the poles to curve to the east and wind moving away from the poles to curve to the west.


What areas are farthest away from the equator called?

The North and South poles


What is magnetic repulsion?

When like poles (south and south, north and north) push each other away (repel).

Since the earth is a sphere, the north and south poles are further away from the sun and the equator is closer.


What is special about those pieces of metal that move away from a magnet?

What is special is that those bits of metal are magnetized, and their orientation is such that their poles are pointed to the magnetic. Lastly, the poles of the bits of metal that are pointed toward the magnet are the same as the pole of the magnetic that is pointing toward them. North pushes away north, or south pushes away south. (Like poles repel while opposite poles attract.)


What causes the temperatures of the North and south poles?

It's because usually the farther you get away from the equator the colder it is north, south east or west and so on


What is it called when to magnets push away from each other?

Its called South Pole and North Pole but when you put north pole to north pole it will push away from each other same when you put south pole to south pole it will push away.

Can a magnet move away from a magnet?

Magnets can have attractive force, if the opposite poles (North South) are oriented toward each other. They can also repel (force away from each other) if like poles (North North, or South South) are oriented toward each other.
