What is the water like at the equator?
The water at the equator is warm and quite salty due to high evaporation rates and consistent sunlight. It is also abundant in marine life due to the warm temperature and nutrient-rich waters. The equator is known for having some of the most diverse and vibrant marine ecosystems in the world.
Why does most evaporation take place at the equator?
Evaporation is higher at the equator due to the warmer temperatures and increased solar radiation. This causes more water to turn into water vapor and rise into the atmosphere. The high temperatures and abundant sunlight create ideal conditions for evaporation to occur.
Describe the temperature of the currents that flow away from the equator and explain why they are this way?
Heating by the sun near the equator makes the water there warm. In the polar regions, the water is cold. Cold water weighs more than warm and as a result, the warm waters of the equator drift toward the poles. The cold wear from the poles then flows toward the equator to replace the warm water that is leaving.
Why are water and air at the equator warmer than water and air at the poles?
The equator receives more direct sunlight throughout the year, leading to higher temperatures. This causes the air and water at the equator to absorb and retain more heat compared to the poles, which receive sunlight at a lower angle and for shorter durations, resulting in cooler temperatures.
The troposphere is most likely to be thickest?
near the equator, where the warmer temperatures lead to greater vertical expansion of the air.
What happens to the majority of the water at the equator?
Nothing happens at the equator that does not happen elsewhere.
What happens to the majority of water at the equator?
Nothing happens at the equator that does not happen elsewhere.
The sun is most directly overhead near the what?
The sun is most directly overhead near the equator. This happens during the equinoxes where the sun is directly above the equator, resulting in near-vertical rays at noon.
Is most of South America north or south of the equater?
Most of South America is south of the equator.South of the equator
Why is ocean water near the equator warmer than ocean water at the poles?
The ocean receives most of its heat along the equator, where incoming solar radiation is about double that received at the poles. Hence, sea surfaces are much warmer along the equator than at the poles.
Name one Indonesian island that is located on the equator?
well the equator is water and water is on the equater so water water is the answer because water is water and water is water
Is most of Colombia north or south of the equator?
Most of Colombia is north of the Equator.
What happends to the surplus heat around the equator?
It is radiated back into space and most of the retained heat enters the atmosphere. This happens everywhere on the globe, not just the equator. However the ewuator has the highest amount or surplus heat.
Where does rain happen the most?
Rain happens the most in tropical regions around the equator, where warm, moist air rises and cools to form clouds and precipitation. These areas include the Amazon Rainforest, Southeast Asia, and parts of Africa.
Is most of south America south or north to the equator?
South America is south of the equator.
What happens to the Peru current as it reaches the equator?
It goes from a cool current to a warm current as it gets closer to the equator.
What country produces the most sugarcane?
Brazil, (as sugarcanes requires alot of labour and 20 degrees from the equator) just so happens that Brazil is 20 degrees from the equator and has alot of poor people for manual labour. 177
