Where does the polar easterlies occur?
The polar easterlies occur between 60 and 90 degrees latitude in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. They are cold winds that blow from the polar high-pressure areas towards lower pressure areas at mid-latitudes.
Is the areas between the tropic of cancer and tropic of Capricorn called low or high latitudes?
Both! All lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of cancer are high latitudes, and lines of latitude between the equator and the tropic of capricorn are considered low latitudes. ***THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE THE TROPICAL LATITUDES*** <- those I can't name
Are areas between the high and low latitudes temperate or tropical?
They would be temperate.
Why do areas with low latitudes have warmer air than areas at high latitudes?
Areas with low latitudes receive more direct sunlight year-round, leading to higher temperatures. The sun's rays strike the Earth more directly at the equator, while at higher latitudes, the rays hit at a slant, spreading the energy over a larger area and reducing warmth. Additionally, low-latitude regions experience less seasonal variation in temperature compared to high-latitude areas, where the tilt of the Earth causes significant seasonal changes.
What are Winds in the high latitudes that flow out of the Arctic and Antarctic regions?
Polar easterlies are winds that flow from the high-pressure areas of the poles towards lower pressure areas closer to the equator. These winds are cold and dry, originating from the Arctic in the northern hemisphere and the Antarctic in the southern hemisphere. They play a role in shaping the climate and weather patterns in the high latitudes.
Are tundras areas in the southern latitudes?
no :) the northern..... well im pretty sure it is northern
What is the latitude of Savanna?
Savanna areas occupy mostly southern hemisphere Tropical latitudes, but can exist in northern hemisphere.
Where on the map is the tundra found?
Tundras and Ice SheetsArctic and alpine tundras are areas where trees grow sparsely due to a short growing season, low precipitation, strong winds, and in the case of alpine tundras, high altitude. Tundras are often found near permanent ice sheets where, during summer, the ice and snow recede to expose the ground and allow vegetation to grow.
Where does alfisol develop?
In humid areas historically covered by hardwood forest in the latitudes previously glaciated. Areas like the Alleghany Plateau and Southern New England.
What latitudes are the areas north of the Arctic Circle?
High latitudes
Do tundras have lakes?
Yes there are lakes present in tundra areas.
What latitudes are the areas north of the Arctic Circle called?
high latitudes
All areas north of the Arctic Circle are known as the what latitudes?
high latitudes
What countries are tundras?
A tundra is a region that is cold year round and has very little few plants. Tundras usually have permafrost, a layer of soil that is frozen year round, but they don't necessarily have to in order to be considered a tundra. Tundras can be classified as Arctic, Antarctic, or Alpine. Arctic tundra regions can be found in northern areas of Canada, Russia, Greenland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, and Finland. Antarctic tundras are located on the continent of Antarctica or the islands nearby, such as the South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, which are just off the coast of South America. Alpine tundras are areas that are so high in altitude that trees cannot grow there. The cold temperatures and lack of plant life (aside from moss and lichens), make these regions tundras. These tundras are the only kind that don't have permafrost. They can be found in mountainous regions all over the world.
Are tundras urban suburban or rural areas?
Tundras are generally considered rural areas due to their remote and sparsely populated nature. They are characterized by cold climates, low vegetation, and permafrost, making them unsuitable for large-scale urban or suburban development.
Are there any rocks in tundras?
Yes, there are rocks in tundras. Tundras are typically covered with a layer of vegetation, mosses, and lichens, but rocks can still be found in the soil and surface. These rocks may be uncovered during the short summer thaw or exposed in areas where the vegetation is less dense.
Where does the polar easterlies occur?
The polar easterlies occur between 60 and 90 degrees latitude in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. They are cold winds that blow from the polar high-pressure areas towards lower pressure areas at mid-latitudes.
