When air moves away from the tropics and toward the poles it becomes .?
cool and dry
What general trend does a world isothermal map show?
A world isothermal map shows the distribution of temperature around the globe in a specific timeframe. It helps to visualize regions of warm and cold temperatures and identify patterns such as temperature gradients between different latitudes or the presence of thermal anomalies due to climate events.
How global winds move warm air toward the?
Global winds move warm air toward the poles by the process of convection and the Coriolis effect. As warm air rises at the equator, it moves toward the poles due to the rotation of the Earth. This creates the global wind patterns that help distribute heat around the planet.
What takes the place of warm air?
As the warm air rises and moves toward the poles,cooler air moves from the poles toward the equator to replace it. Resource:Factors of Weather:Air movement Close to the Earth (science sheet)
What causes the low pressures region that prevails over the tropics?
The low pressure region that prevails over the tropics is caused by the radiating heat from the sun. This area gets heat from the sun that is most directly overhead and the intense heat of the day and cool of night cause low pressure.
When air moves away from the tropics and toward the poles it becomes .?
cool and dry
When the air moves away from the tropics and towards the poles it becomes?
cool and dry
How does heat move from tropics to poles?
Heat moves from the tropics to the poles through a process called atmospheric circulation. Warm air rises at the equator, moves towards the poles at high altitudes, and then descends back towards the surface at around 30 degrees latitude. This creates wind patterns that help to distribute heat from the tropics to the poles.

Where do large scale weather systems develop and why are they important?
Large scale weather systems that transport surface cold air toward the tropics and surface warm air toward the poles.
What must happen to keep the poles from steadily cooling off and the tropics from heating up over time?
To maintain the Earth's temperature balance, a continuous exchange of heat through atmospheric and oceanic circulation is essential. This process redistributes warm air and water from the tropics toward the poles while drawing cooler air and water from the poles toward the equator. Additionally, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere help trap heat, preventing extreme temperature fluctuations. Without these mechanisms, the poles would cool, and the tropics would heat up, disrupting the planet's climate system.
Into how many world climate regions do most geographers divide the earth?
5. Tropics, subtropics and poles. subtropics are between the tropics and poles on each side.
How global winds move warm air toward the?
Global winds move warm air toward the poles by the process of convection and the Coriolis effect. As warm air rises at the equator, it moves toward the poles due to the rotation of the Earth. This creates the global wind patterns that help distribute heat around the planet.
Where are the tropics and polar region found?
Tropics- area near equator polar- area closer to the poles
How does uneven heating of the earth set up conditions for the prevailing winds on a nonrotating earth?
It sets up two circulation cells where warm air aloft moves toward the poles and cool surface air moves toward the equator.
What must happen to keep the poles from steadily cooling off the tropics from heating up over time?
To maintain a balance between the poles and the tropics, mechanisms such as ocean currents, atmospheric circulation, and greenhouse gas concentrations play crucial roles. Ocean currents distribute heat from the equator toward the poles, while atmospheric circulation helps transfer warm air northward. Additionally, greenhouse gases in the atmosphere trap heat, preventing excessive cooling at the poles. Without these processes, the temperature disparity could lead to a continual cooling of polar regions and increased warming in the tropics.
What acts like a giant thermostat warming the Poles cooling the tropics and regulating the climate of your planet?
The ocean acts as a giant thermostat by transferring heat from the equator to the poles through a process called thermohaline circulation. Warm water moves towards the poles, releases heat, becomes denser and sinks, then circulates back towards the equator to complete the cycle. This regulates the climate by distributing heat more evenly across the globe.
