The polar easterlies (also Polar Hadley cells) are the dry, cold prevailing winds that blow from the high-pressure areas of the polar highs at the north and south poles towards low-pressure areas within the Westerlies at high latitudes.

The equator.From there they flow to the North or South Poles in order to cool them.

At the poles.


Do currents flow faster at the pole or at the equator?

At the poles.


How do the north and south poles of a solenoid change with the direction of current flow?

The north and south poles of a solenoid change depending on the direction of the current flow. When the current flows in one direction, the north pole of the solenoid is at one end and the south pole is at the other end. If the current flows in the opposite direction, the poles switch places, with the south pole at the end where the north pole was and vice versa.


North equatorial and south equatorial currents flow in which direction?

North Equatorial flow clockwise and southern counter-clockwise.


What latitude belts do cold currents originate?

Cold currents typically originate in high latitude belts near the poles, such as the polar regions or around the 60° latitude lines. These currents flow from these colder regions towards the equator, influencing the temperature and climate of coastal areas along their path.

What pole do magnetic field originate?

Magnetic fields originate from the north and south poles of a magnet or a magnetic material. These poles generate magnetic flux lines that flow from the north pole to the south pole, creating a magnetic field around the magnet.


Are the ocean currents in the pacific warm or cold?

Both: Tidal currents that flow from the tropics will be warm, and if they flow from the poles will be cool.
