Why the length of a parallel increases as be move away from the poles?

The length of a parallel, or latitude line, increases as you move away from the poles because the Earth is shaped like an oblate spheroid, being slightly flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator. As you move towards the equator, the circumference of the Earth increases, resulting in longer parallels. This geometric relationship means that lines of latitude are closer together near the poles and farther apart near the equator, leading to the increased length of parallels away from the poles.


What does the ocean move away from the equator?

If you wanted to enjoy longer periods of daylight in the summertime would you move closer to the equator or farther away from it?

You would move farther away from the equator because of the tilt of Earth's axis.


Do you get more sunlight if you move closer to the equator or farther?

You get more sunlight if you move closer to the equator. This is because the equator receives more direct sunlight throughout the year compared to areas farther away from the equator.


How does the angle of incidence change as you move away from the equator to the north pole or south pole on the march equinox?

As you move away from the equator to the poles on the March equinox, the angle of incidence of the Sun's rays increases. This means that the sunlight hits the Earth's surface at a steeper angle at the poles compared to the equator, leading to an increase in the amount of atmosphere through which the sunlight has to pass, resulting in more scattering of light and lower intensity of sunlight at the poles.


The surface ocean currents move heat energy away from where?

the equator


When the latitude increases how is the temperature?

As latitude increases, the temperature tends to decrease. This is because the amount of solar energy received decreases as you move away from the equator towards the poles. The angle at which sunlight hits the Earth's surface becomes more oblique at higher latitudes, resulting in less direct heating.


Why is the climate near the the equator usally warmer?

As you move away from the tropics, the angle of the sun increases and less of the energy of the sun reaches the surface to warm things up. Near the equator, the sun is most nearly directly overhead most of the time and the tropics (near the equator) get the most energy from the sun, thus keeping things warmer.


When you move away from the equator where do meridians go?

Meridians converge at the poles and intersect the equator at 90 degrees. They are all great circle lines called lines of longitude. The equator is a line of latitude and the only line of latitude that is a great circle line. As you move away from the equator the lines of latitude describe smaller and smaller circles round the planet as you approach the poles.


Do meridians get parallel to one another as they get closer to the poles?

no. They are parallel to each other only at the equator. But as soon as you move away from the equator, they are no longer parallel.


Why is there so little precipitation at high latitudes?

as you move away from the tropics it means you are moving closer to the equator and since at the equator is warm there will be little precipitation


The further from the Equator the warmer?

This statement is incorrect. Generally, areas closer to the Equator receive more direct sunlight and therefore tend to be warmer. As you move further away from the Equator towards the poles, temperatures typically decrease.
