What are the air currents that flow near the north and south poles?

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.

How do deep currents affect climate?
The air of a region where the temperature is higher is warmer than the air of a region where the temperature is lower. As a result, the air will flow from the warmer region to the cooler region. This generates air currents.
What kind of seeds flow on water?
Coconut seeds. They travel long distances in the the sea carried by ocean currents.
Is it true that in a series circuit electric currents flow through more than one path?
more than 1
Trade winds in the south pacific area generally flow?
from the south towards the equator
Cool air over the poles will?
Actually, cool air tends to be more dense and flow under warm air
What regions of the globe do warm surface currents originate?
The equator.From there they flow to the North or South Poles in order to cool them.
Do currents flow faster at the equator or the poles?
At the poles.
Do wind currents flow faster at the equator or the poles?
At the poles.
North equatorial and south equatorial currents flow in which direction?
North Equatorial flow clockwise and southern counter-clockwise.
Do currents flow faster at the pole or at the equator?
At the poles.
What direction do surface currents near the equator?
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
What cause currents to flow between the poles of the equator?
warm-water
What direction do surface currents near the equator flow?
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
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.
How is an ocean current considered to be warm or cold?
Warm or cold defines the temperature of the water. In general warm currents flow north and cold currents flow south. That makes sense. Also warm currents flow on the surface and cold currents flow deep since cold water is denser than warm water.
How heat transfer between the equator and poles?
This is caused by convection, in which warm, less-dense air rises, and flows toward the poles until it cools and sinks again.
Do winds and currents flow faster at the equator than at the poles or more slowly?
At the poles because the water is colder and less dense............
