No, the equator could be said to be the opposite of the Polar regions.

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.


Where are the tropics and polar region found?

Tropics- area near equator polar- area 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.


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.


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.


Which polar region has the highest average elevation?

The south polar region's elevation is higher than the north polar region, because the south polar region is a continent and the north polar region is ocean.


What is the temperature of the Atlantic Ocean?

It varies quite a bit from below 32° F (0°) in the polar region to 68° F (20°) around the Equator.


Is Siberia in the polar region?

the north of Siberia is in the polar region.


What are the trade winds westerlies and polar easterlies and their physical causes?

All these can be explained by simple gear mechanism. You have to put three gears A B C in a row above the equator and below the equator. Above the equator westerlies move in anticlockwise direction and below it moves in clockwise direction. So two gears move in opposite direction. This is normal phenomena. Energy for this is provided by sun. As equator is hottest, air is bound to go upwards. It can go all the way to polar region and go down. But this does not happen and you have three cells. That means Hadley cell, Ferrel cell and polar cell. In Hadley cell at equator air moves upwards at equator. From there it moves towards polar direction and then at tropic of cancer and tropic of Capricorn it it goes downwards. As air from there has already travelled to equator. Then Ferrel cell behave against the natural law. That means air flows from hot to cold region. Energy for this abnormal movement is provided by Hadley cell as well as polar cell. Here both the cells provide 'equal' energy. Then you have polar cell. It is normal to move air from cold region to hot region. As air from hot region will go up. So it needs no explanation. So in trade winds air moves from tropic of cancer and Capricorn to equator, in north and south poles respectively. In Ferrel cells you have westerlies. Air flows from tropic of cancer and tropic of Capricorn to 60 latitude. And in polar cell you have air flowing from polar region to 60 latitude. It causes polar easterlies. So movements of winds are explained.

Is polar zone is near the equator?

Yes
