Are the oceans cold at the poles of the equator?
The oceans are colder at the poles compared to the equator. Near the poles, polar regions experience colder temperatures and often have sea ice present, while the equator receives direct sunlight and is warmer, leading to higher ocean temperatures.
How does earths surface temperature change as you move from the equator towards the poles?
As you move from the equator towards the poles, Earth's surface temperature generally decreases. This is primarily due to the curvature of the Earth, which causes sunlight to be more concentrated at the equator and more dispersed at higher latitudes. Additionally, the angle of sunlight strikes the surface at different latitudes, leading to variations in heating. Consequently, regions closer to the poles experience colder temperatures compared to those near the equator.
What causes the global air current between the equator and the poles?
earths tilt (apex)
Why are average tempitures higher at the equator than near the poles?
Average temperatures are higher at the equator than near the poles primarily due to the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth. At the equator, sunlight is more direct and concentrated, leading to greater energy absorption and warmer temperatures. In contrast, near the poles, sunlight arrives at a shallower angle, spreading the energy over a larger area and resulting in cooler temperatures. Additionally, the poles experience more extreme seasonal variations, further contributing to their lower average temperatures.
What is one reason why it is colder at the poles and warmer at the equator?
The angle at which solar radiation hits the Earth is more direct at the equator, leading to more concentrated heat and warmer temperatures. In contrast, at the poles, sunlight strikes at a shallower angle, spreading the solar energy over a larger area and resulting in colder temperatures.
Why do the poles receive the less solar energy than the equator does?
Because the middle of the earths surface is the hottest on earth and the equator is right in the middle and the poles is at the end of the earths surfaces
Are the oceans cold at the poles of the equator?
The oceans are colder at the poles compared to the equator. Near the poles, polar regions experience colder temperatures and often have sea ice present, while the equator receives direct sunlight and is warmer, leading to higher ocean temperatures.
What do you call the line through the earths poles?
the equator daaa
Which best describes earths exact shape Slightly flattened at both equator and poles bulging at equator and polesflattened at equator and slightly bulging at poles flattened at poles and slightly by?
it is a mushed 3d sphere
Why are averages temperatures higher at the equator than near the poles?
The energy that reaches the equator is more intense than the energy that strikes poles
Why does it tends to be cool at the earths pole?
Because the earth rotates on its slanted axis, the points at the ends of the axis (the poles) are the parts that least often face the sun directly and therefore receive the least amount of sunlight year-round.
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.
What is the maximum degree of latitude you can be away from earths equator?
90 ... at the north and south poles.
How does earths surface temperature change as you move from the equator towards the poles?
As you move from the equator towards the poles, Earth's surface temperature generally decreases. This is primarily due to the curvature of the Earth, which causes sunlight to be more concentrated at the equator and more dispersed at higher latitudes. Additionally, the angle of sunlight strikes the surface at different latitudes, leading to variations in heating. Consequently, regions closer to the poles experience colder temperatures compared to those near the equator.
Is the sun near the equator or near the poles?
It is effectively the same distance from both.
The imaginary circle around the earths globe equidistant from both the north and south poles?
equator
What causes the global air current between the equator and the poles?
earths tilt (apex)
