The North and South Poles of Earth are colder because they get the least amount of sun. In some seasons they don't hardly receive any sunlight. The equator gets the most sunlight, which is the tropics. In between the tropics and the poles is the temperate zone where we have 4 different seasons that usually involves snow.

What causes the temperatures of the North and south poles?

It's because usually the farther you get away from the equator the colder it is north, south east or west and so on


What causes the global convection current between the equator and the polls?

The difference in temperatures between the Equator and the north and south poles, plus the rotation of the earth, causes the air currents.

Why north and south pole always ice?

The North and South Poles are covered in ice because they receive less direct sunlight due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. This causes colder temperatures and allows ice to accumulate and remain frozen year-round. Additionally, the cold temperatures at the poles prevent much of the ice from melting.


What causes the poles to be slightly off the true North and South poles?

The Earth's magnetic poles do not align perfectly with the geographic North and South poles due to the planet's molten iron core generating a magnetic field that is not perfectly symmetrical. This causes the magnetic poles to shift and be slightly off from the true geographic poles.


How do temperatures change fom north to south?

Temperatures generally decrease as you move from the equator (south) towards the North Pole. This is because the angle of sunlight hitting Earth's surface is more direct at the equator, leading to higher temperatures. As you move towards the poles, the angle of sunlight becomes more oblique, causing temperatures to decrease.


Why do the north and south poles have different temperatures?

Because the earth pivots back and forth depending on the season so the poles never get the same amount of sunlight

Does lines of longitude gets shorter as they approach the north and south poles?

Yes, lines of longitude converge towards the poles, so they are spaced closer together as they near the poles. This convergence causes the lines of longitude to become shorter as they approach the poles.
