What generally happens to the elevation of the tree line going from the equator towards the poles Why?
The elevation of the tree line generally decreases as you move from the equator towards the poles. This is because as you move towards the poles, temperatures become colder and the conditions become less favorable for tree growth, resulting in a lower tree line.
When air moves away from the tropics and toward the poles it becomes?
colder and denser. This results in high pressure systems forming in polar regions.
Why is the troposphere thinner at the poles?
As air gets colder it contracts. While the total amount of air is about the same in any column of the troposphere, at the cold poles that column takes up less space, resulting in a shorter distance to the top of the troposphere.
Why is High Pressure Is At The Poles?
High pressure tends to form at the poles due to the cooling of air at the surface, causing it to sink and create a high-pressure system. These regions receive less direct sunlight and have colder temperatures, leading to the air being denser and heavier, resulting in high pressure. Additionally, the Coriolis effect plays a role in the formation of high-pressure systems at the poles.
Is the climate coldest near the poles or the equator?
The climate is coldest near the poles because of the tilt of the Earth's axis and the resulting oblique angle at which sunlight reaches those regions, leading to less direct sunlight and colder temperatures. In contrast, the equator receives more direct sunlight year-round, resulting in warmer temperatures.
Why are the poles colder?
They are not as near the sun.
Why does the ocean get denser near the poles?
because it is colder up there
Are the oceans cold at the poles of the equator?
The oceans are colder at the poles compared to the equator. Near the poles, polar regions experience colder temperatures and often have sea ice present, while the equator receives direct sunlight and is warmer, leading to higher ocean temperatures.
Is Antarctica colder than Canada?
Yes, because it is closer to the poles
Is an ocean or river colder?
It depends. If the river is in the mountains or near the Poles than it's probably colder but if the ocean is like the arctic ocean or something like that then that's probably colder
How is the adaptation of a plant that occurs as the climate gets colder towards the poles?
because it can Save
What happens to the poles if the earth stops tilting on its axis?
Very little - just colder.
Which what is latitude?
Latitude is the curvature of the Earth where it is hotter on the equator and it gets colder nearer the poles.
What effect do global winds have on climate?
Global winds drive heated air from the equator to the poles. It also drives colder air from the poles to the equator.
The difference in temperature between the equator and poles?
It is more COLDER in the POLES and it is more WARMER by the EQUATOR.So therefore the temperature by the equator is warmer and the temperature by the poles is much colder.
What causes ocean water near the poles to be colder than ocean water near the equator?
the sun's rays strike the water at a angle at the poles APEX
What is one reason why it is colder at the poles and warmer at the equator?
The angle at which solar radiation hits the Earth is more direct at the equator, leading to more concentrated heat and warmer temperatures. In contrast, at the poles, sunlight strikes at a shallower angle, spreading the solar energy over a larger area and resulting in colder temperatures.
