What are the Global winds that flow toward equator?
Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.
Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
Warm currents generally flow toward the poles from the equator. This creates a transfer of warm water from the equator to higher latitudes, helping to moderate temperatures in these regions.
Do winds and currents flow faster at the equator than at the poles or more slowly?
Winds and currents flow faster at the equator compared to the poles. This is due to the Coriolis effect caused by the Earth's rotation, which deflects winds and currents, making them stronger at the equator where the effect is minimized. At the poles, the Coriolis effect is strongest, resulting in slower winds and currents.
What direction do surface currents near the equator flow?
Ocean currents flow near the equator from the east to west. Ocean currents flow near the poles from west to east.
When winds generally flow away from the equator and towards the poles what transfer of wind does this cause?
an energy transfer, with heat energy moving away from the equator
What are the Global winds that flow toward equator?
Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.
Winds from the equator to around 30e north latitude that generally flow from the northeast?
Winds from the equator to around 30e north latitude that generally flow from the northeast are called the prevailing winds. They are very common.
In what direction do global winds and currents flow near the equator?
westward
Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
Warm currents generally flow toward the poles from the equator. This creates a transfer of warm water from the equator to higher latitudes, helping to moderate temperatures in these regions.
What are winds that flow from the horse latitudes toward the polar areas are called what?
The winds are called Westerlies.
What are the winds that flow from the horse latitudes toward the polar areas called?
The winds are called Westerlies.
Why there are more coastal deserts along the western coasts?
Ocean and wind currents above the equator flow in a clockwise pattern, while those south of the equator flow in a counterclockwise pattern. But all the winds and currents meet at the equator and flow east to west forming the trade winds and equatorial currents.
In what direction do cold currents generally flow in the northern hemisphere?
Cold currents generally flow towards the equator. (a.k.a. south).
What are winds that flow from the horse latitudes toward that polar areas?
Polar Easterlies
