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.
North of the equator flushing of toilet water turns counter clock wise Does flushing water turn clock wise south of the equator?
The initial statement is false. Water doesn't 'turn' one way or the other when you flush due to location north or south of the equator. It has everything to do with the shape/size etc. of the bowl, and nothing to do with geographic location!
What happens to most of the water at the equator?
Most of the water at the equator evaporates due to the high temperatures and intense sunlight. This process contributes to the formation of large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns and influences global weather systems.
What is true about ocean currents moving toward the equator?
It is cold..
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
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 land and water north of the equator is called?
The land and water north of the equator is called the Northern Hemisphere.
What are the release dates for Water Sports at the Equator - 1915?
Water Sports at the Equator - 1915 was released on: USA: June 1915
What way does the ocean water move globally?
Along warm water currents from the equator to the poles.
Is water near the equator cold or hot?
It is hot because where the equator is, is a very how place.
Is the equator the warmest part of the ocean?
Ocean water generally gets warmer toward the equator and cooler toward the poles. However, the warmest water is not usually observed directly on the equator itself.
What describes the movement of water between the poles and the equator?
The movement of water between the poles and the equator is driven by global wind patterns and ocean currents. Warm water moves from the equator towards the poles, while cold water flows from the poles towards the equator in a process known as thermohaline circulation. This exchange of water helps regulate global climate and ocean temperatures.
Does Uranus have an equator?
Yes, just like the Earth, it has an equator in the middle.
How does the water move between the equator and the poles?
Water moves between the equator and the poles primarily through ocean currents and atmospheric circulation. Warm water from the equator is transported northward by currents like the Gulf Stream, while cold water flows back toward the equator at deeper ocean levels. Additionally, atmospheric processes, including the trade winds and the Coriolis effect, influence the movement of water vapor, contributing to precipitation and the overall distribution of heat and moisture across the globe. This dynamic interplay helps regulate climate and weather patterns.
Why is it that the water along the equator is colder then the water to the north and south?
because the currents push the warm water to the north or the south, so little warm water accually stays directly on the equator.
