NPP decreases from the equator to the poles as a result of the amount of solar radiation available. Therefore, NPP is more at the equator.

Explain Will 1 kg of sugar be more at poles or at the equator?

1 kg of sugar will weigh slightly more at the poles compared to the equator due to differences in gravity caused by the Earth's rotation. Gravity is stronger at the poles and weaker at the Equator due to the centrifugal force caused by the Earth's rotation.


Is there more rainfall near the equator or near the poles?

Near the Equator. It doesn't rain at the poles, and snowfall is almost non-existent at the South Pole.


Is centrifugal force is more at equator than poles?

No, centrifugal force is greater at the poles than at the equator because the Earth's rotation causes a bulging effect at the equator that counteracts the centrifugal force. This is why objects weigh slightly less at the equator compared to the poles.


Why do the poles receive more solar energy then the equator does?

They don't. The equator receives more solar energy per area unit than the poles do.


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


Where is the strength of gravitatioal force in the poles or equator?

The bulging Earth has more surface "gravity" at its equator.


The difference in temperature between the equator and poles?

It is more COLDER in the POLES and it is more WARMER by the EQUATOR.So therefore the temperature by the equator is warmer and the temperature by the poles is much colder.


Why do poles receive less solar energy then the equator does?

The poles receive less solar energy then the equator does because the radiation from the sun has to pass through much more atmosphere to reach the poles than to reach the equator. During that transit, more of the energy is scattered on the path to the poles, and less reaches the ground there.


Is the sun near the equator or near the poles?

It is effectively the same distance from both.


Why does the level of primary productivity increases at the equatorial approach?

The theory that the level of primary productivity increases at the equatorial approach is relatedÊto what is called theÊlatitudinal diversity gradient. Basically, it occurs because the numbers of species are higher near the tropic zone than at the poles. There is an increase in solar energy at lower latitudes orÊthe equator that causes an increase in net primary productivity or photosynthesis. With more plants availability at lower latitudes, more species can be supported in these regions.


What is true about the regions closer to the equator?

The regions closer to the equator are hotter and more moist than those further from the equator. They receive more solar energy than the poles.


The force that dictates that objects weight more at the equator than at the poles is?

gravity
