When the air moves away from the tropics and towards the poles it becomes?

cool and dry


Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles creating?

Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles. Warm air expands and cool air contracts and compresses.


The atmosphere balances the unequal heating of earth's surface by moving?

Warm air toward high latitudes and cool air toward the equator


Which is a more stable atmospheric condition cool air layered over warm air or warm air layered over cool air?

Cool air layered over warm air is a more stable atmospheric condition because cool air is denser and does not rise easily through the warmer air above it. This creates a more stable environment where weather systems are less likely to develop or intensify. Warm air layered over cool air can result in more unstable conditions and lead to the formation of thunderstorms and other severe weather.


Why are trade winds cool?

Trade winds are cool because they originate in high-pressure areas near the poles and flow towards the equator. As they move, they pass over cooler ocean waters or higher altitudes, which helps to keep them relatively cool. Additionally, the constant air flow and movement help to prevent excessive heating.


What replaces heated air at the equator?

Cool Air! As the heated air rises the heated air starts getting cool. This is because the higher the air is the colder it gets. Then the heated air will be replaced with cold air. As the cold air then comes down near the ground the cool air will become heated because of the sun. Heated Air - Cool Air - Cold Air And On And On It Goes


How does air travel at the poles?

The cold dense air at the poles sinks, so the air from the upper level of atmosphere flows in on the top of the increasing weight while creating an area of high pressure at the poles. Now, the air that rises at the equator does not flow directly to the poles.


Why is the air pressure the poles higher than the air pressure at the equator?

The reason the tropopause is lower above the poles than the equator is... The time it takes air to cool. The surface air-temperature at the equator is much higher than at the poles, meaning that the air rises further to reach the equilibrium required at the tropopause. Likewise, the air at the poles is cooler, and does not require as much room to rise.


Do cool air masses flow over warm air masses?

No, as cold air is denser.


When air moves away from the tropics and toward the poles it becomes .?

Where does cold air from the poles go?

At the poles, cold air sinks. Simple


Does cool air flow over or under warm air?

Cool air typically flows under warm air due to the principle of convection, where cooler, denser air sinks while warmer, lighter air rises. This creates a cycle of air circulation where cool air replaces warm air near the surface.
