No. The South Pole is colder than the North Pole. this is because the South Pole sits amidst the large ice and land mass known as the Antarctic, whilst the North Pole is merely a floating ice shelf, and therefore several degrees warmer throughout the seasons.

Does the temperature increase or decrease when you get to the south?

If you are North of the equator.....If you travel north, latitude increases,If you travel south, latitude decreases.If you are South of the equator.....If you travel north, latitude decreases,If you travel south, latitude increases.


Where does warm air and cold air travel to on the globe?

Warm air moves towards higher latitudes towards the poles, while cold air moves towards lower latitudes towards the equator. This movement is driven by the temperature and pressure differences between these regions.


Why does the area around the equator stay the same temperature year-round?

The area around the equator receives direct sunlight throughout the year because of the Earth's tilt, leading to consistent warm temperatures. Additionally, the equator's proximity to the sun means that the sunlight is more concentrated and has less distance to travel, helping to maintain a stable temperature.


Where on earth are the seasonal variations of temperature in Daly Lane greatest and least?

The seasonal variations of temperature in Daly Lane are greatest in regions further away from the equator where the four seasons are more distinct, such as in temperate regions. The seasonal variations are least near the equator and in tropical regions where temperatures tend to remain relatively constant throughout the year.


How does latitude effect temperature?

Your current latitude affects ambient air temperature because latitude determines your distance on Earth between the Earth's poles and the Earth's equator. The closer you are to the North or South Pole (e.g.: the higher your latitude), the cooler the ground and ambient air will be because there is less sunlight striking the Earth. Conversely, the closer you are to the Equator (e.g.: the lower your latitude), the warmer the ground and ambient air will be because there is more sunlight striking the Earth.The equator is the hottest spot. The closer the latitude is to the equator, the hotter the temperature is, and opposite; the farther the latitude is from the equator, the colder the temperature is.

You would travel north to accomplish this trip.


If you start at the Earth's equator and travel due north half the distance to the north pole at what latitude will you be located?

If you start at the Earth's equator and travel due north half the distance to the North Pole, you will be located at 45 degrees North latitude.


Why is it warmer on the equator than it is 1000 miles north of the equator?

It is warmer near the equator because the sun is pointing directley at the "area" and the Equator is closer towards the center of the Earth. If the Equator were on the North Pole it would not be the same temperature.


What happens if you travel east of Greenwich England?

You will immediately be in the Eastern Hemisphere because 0 degrees longitude runs north/south through Greenwich. You will also be in the Northern Hemisphere because you are north of the Equator.


Why are seasons reversed in North and South America?

Because of where each continent is located. North America is north of the Equator, where air patterns (weather) travel from west to east. South America is south of the Equator, where air patterns travel from east to west. This is also due to the force of gravity on Earth. North of the Equator the Coriolis effect is from west to east, while south of the Equator it is reversed.
