Why are polar zones colder than the other zones?
Because they are furthest from the sun and the angle at which the sun's rays hit the polar regions is much shallower than at other regions.
Why are the polar zones colder than the other zones?
The polar zones are colder than other zones because sunlight at higher latitudes is spread out over a larger area, resulting in less energy per unit area reaching the surface. Additionally, the angle at which sunlight hits the polar regions is more oblique, leading to less heating. The presence of ice and snow in the polar regions also reflects sunlight, further reducing temperatures.
How do the total number of hours of sun light in a year compare for a tropical regions and polar regions of the earth Why are polar regions so much cooler?
Tropical regions receive more sunlight hours throughout the year, as they are closer to the equator and experience more direct sunlight. In contrast, polar regions receive less sunlight due to their high latitude and tilt of the Earth's axis, resulting in cooler temperatures. The angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth's surface in polar regions is also much lower, leading to less heat absorption.
Why would there be no polar region if Earth's axis was not tilted?
Even if the earth was tilted, it would still rotate on its own axis. The axis would meet the earth at the poles and the regions surrounding those points would be polar regions. That would be true whatever the earth's tilt.
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.
How does the snow and ice in the arctic help us humans?
It helps to regulate the planets temperature. If there were no polar ice, the heat from the sun would cause the temperature to climb much more rapidly. The warmer air at the equator rises, which 'sucks in' colder air from the polar regions regions. This cycle is continuous, regulating the planets temperature all year round.
Why is there so much moss in polar regions?
because there its cold and snowy
Why are the polar zones colder than other zones?
Because they are furthest from the sun and the angle at which the sun's rays hit the polar regions is much shallower than at other regions.
Why do ice cores taken from polar regions contain much older information about Earth's climate than ice cores taken from mountaintops?
Because the snow is very compressed in the polar regions
How much more direct sunlight does the polar region receive than the equator?
The polar regions never receive any direct sunlight.
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.
What is tropical regions became much colder?
It will beat ur meat
Why is farming not practiced in polar regions?
Farming is not practiced in the polar regions because of the harsh weather conditions like extremely low temperatures, and the snow. You could try it in the warmer seasons, but fishing and hunting would be much easier. Many plants especially ones that are harvested don't like it there because of low temperatures, and the snow and can't grow there. There would be very little nutrients if a plant was there. However, algae and moss grow there, but they are not edible.
Why in the Midwest or colder regions do you fortify milk with vitamin D?
because they don't spend as much time in the sun, which is how most people in warmer regions get their vitamin D
Does bamboo grow in Colorado?
Bamboo can grow pretty much every where on earth except polar regions.
Why are polar zones colder than the other zones?
Because they are furthest from the sun and the angle at which the sun's rays hit the polar regions is much shallower than at other regions.
