What else can I help you with?
Where are the tropics and polar region found?
Tropics- area near equator polar- area closer to the poles
If the arctic is under the equator like Australia how is it so cold?
The arctic is NOT "under the equator." It is at the north polar region. The Antarctic is at the south polar region; the average temp in the polar regions are much colder than at the equator.
Is the equator a polar region?
No, the equator is not a polar region. The equator is an imaginary line that divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, while the polar regions are located near the North and South Poles. The equator is known for its warm and tropical climate, while the polar regions are characterized by cold temperatures and ice.
What cold climate zone is closer to the equator?
The tundra biome is a cold climate zone that is closer to the equator. It spans from 60° to 70° latitude, which is closer to the equator compared to polar regions like the Arctic and Antarctic.
Which is the most common sequence of major land biomes encountered when going from the equator to the polar region?
The most common sequence of major land biomes encountered when going from the equator to the polar region is tropical rainforest, temperate deciduous forest, grassland, taiga (boreal forest), and tundra. This pattern transitions from warm and wet climates near the equator to cooler and drier climates closer to the poles.
How do you call the region that lies on the latitudes between equator and polar region?
The region between the equator and the north pole is called the "northern Hemisphere". The region between the equator and the south pole is called the "southern Hemisphere". The two of them put together cover the whole earth.
Is Ireland polar?
No. Ireland is a long way from the North Pole, though it is closer to it than it is to the equator. It is not close enough to the North Pole to be described as being polar.
What effect does solar radiation have on climate when comparing the equator to polar-region?
Equator has a lower angular deflection of sunlight and therefore warmer temperatures
How much more direct sunlight does the polar region receive than the equator?
The polar regions never receive any direct sunlight.
Are manatees the polar bear's enemies?
No. Manatees live in tropical and sub tropical regions, not in the Arctic.
Why is Antarctica colder than Texas?
Antarctica is polar; Texas is closer to the equator. It's all in location, location, location.
Do polar bears eat manatees?
Polar Bears are opportunistic feeders, and will have a go at just about any animal it thinks it can catch and overpower. Given the chance, it is quite likely that a Polar Bear would try on a Manatee. Polar Bears will happily go after walruses, which are fairly similar in size to manatees. But in the wild, Polar Bears and Manatees would never meet. Manatees live in warmer waters further south, while polar bears live far to the north. There are hundreds of miles between them.
