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.
How do oceans moderate climate?
Oceans moderate climate by absorbing and storing heat from the sun, which helps to regulate temperature extremes. They also transport warm water from the equator to the poles and cold water from the poles to the equator through ocean currents, redistributing heat around the globe. Additionally, oceans release moisture into the atmosphere through evaporation, which can influence precipitation patterns and weather systems.
Why does the equator not have a cold season?
No matter which way the poles tilt, the equator always receives enough direct sunlight to prevent a winter. Though, if there are no clouds to trap in the heat of the day, the equator can be very cold at night.
What describes the movement of water between the poles and the equator?
The movement of water between the poles and the equator is driven by global wind patterns and ocean currents. Warm water moves from the equator towards the poles, while cold water flows from the poles towards the equator in a process known as thermohaline circulation. This exchange of water helps regulate global climate and ocean temperatures.
How does a locations latitude determine how warm or cold it is?
The latitude can be thought of as the distance from the equator. 0 degrees latitude is the equator, which is typically warmer than locations closer than the poles. As you move away from the Equator and towards the North or South poles, the weather tends to be colder. In contrast, the region between the poles and the equator often has a greater temperature range variation.
Do oceans near the poles tend to be saltier?
The water is saltier at the poles, and less salty at the equator.
Where do warm currents move from?
Warm currents move from the equator to the poles, and the cold currents move from the poles to the equator. :D
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.
What way does the ocean water move globally?
Along warm water currents from the equator to the poles.
Why do many ocean current begin near the equator?
It is hotter near the equator and cooler near the poles. It is this difference between warm and cold currents that cause the ocean currents - helped slightly by the rotation of the earth - to flow across the oceans of the world.
What are cold and warm currents?
Cold water travels from the poles towards the equator. An example of a cold water current is the California Current. Warm water travels from the equator towards the poles. An example of a warm water current is the Gulf Stream.

Why does warm ocean water near the equator not melt the earths poles when it travels to the poles?
because it gets cold on the way.
How do ocean currents get warm or cold?
if its by the equator or the two poles, its gonna be cold water currents. hope this helps :)
Where do cold-water and warm-water currents begin?
Cold Water begins at the poles and warm water begins at the equator
Where do cold water and warm water currents begin?
Cold Water begins at the poles and warm water begins at the equator
