As you move away from the equator, temperatures fall. As you move closer to the equator, temperatures rise. Thus, the warmest region of the globe is along the equator, and the coldest is at the north and south poles.

Do you get more sunlight if you move closer to the equator or farther?

You get more sunlight if you move closer to the equator. This is because the equator receives more direct sunlight throughout the year compared to areas farther away from the equator.


When you move away from the equator where do meridians go?

Meridians converge at the poles and intersect the equator at 90 degrees. They are all great circle lines called lines of longitude. The equator is a line of latitude and the only line of latitude that is a great circle line. As you move away from the equator the lines of latitude describe smaller and smaller circles round the planet as you approach the poles.


Why is there so little precipitation at high latitudes?

as you move away from the tropics it means you are moving closer to the equator and since at the equator is warm there will be little precipitation


What is the temperature if it is far from the equator?

The temperature typically decreases as you move farther away from the equator. This is because areas closer to the poles receive less direct sunlight, leading to cooler temperatures.


Does the Gulf Stream move water away from the equator and the Benguela current move some of this same water back towards the equator?

Yes, the Gulf Stream transports warm water from the tropics toward the North Atlantic, away from the equator. The Benguela Current located off the southwest coast of Africa transports some of this water back towards the equator, creating a cyclical flow pattern in the ocean.

Do meridians get parallel to one another as they get closer to the poles?

no. They are parallel to each other only at the equator. But as soon as you move away from the equator, they are no longer parallel.

The further from the Equator the warmer?

This statement is incorrect. Generally, areas closer to the Equator receive more direct sunlight and therefore tend to be warmer. As you move further away from the Equator towards the poles, temperatures typically decrease.
