What else can I help you with?
The air above the poles is?
colder than at the equator due to the angle of sunlight hitting the poles, causing denser air to sink and accumulate. This results in high atmospheric pressure and lower temperatures.
Is cold water denser than room tempurture water?
yeah cold water is denser than room temperature (warm) water.
Why are sunspot darker than surrounding areas?
Sunspots are darker because they are cooler than the surrounding area.
What conditions of temperature and density would allow a plate to subduct?
For a tectonic plate to subduct, it typically requires a temperature and density differential where the subducting plate is colder and denser than the surrounding mantle. Generally, this occurs at convergent plate boundaries where an oceanic plate, which is usually denser and cooler, collides with a less dense continental plate. As the colder, denser oceanic plate descends into the mantle, it creates conditions favorable for subduction, often influenced by the temperature gradient associated with increasing depth.
What causes ocean water near the poles to be colder than ocean water near the equator?
the sun's rays strike the water at a angle at the poles APEX
The air above the poles is?
colder than at the equator due to the angle of sunlight hitting the poles, causing denser air to sink and accumulate. This results in high atmospheric pressure and lower temperatures.
Are the sunspots hotter or colder than the surrounding areas?
They are colder and darker than the other areas
Is cold water denser than room tempurture water?
yeah cold water is denser than room temperature (warm) water.
Is Antarctica colder than Canada?
Yes, because it is closer to the poles
What is the movement of water that occurs when a mass of water is denser than the surrounding water?
Denser water sinks.
Why is there high air pressure at the poles?
Because cold air is denser than warm air.
Why are sunspot darker than surrounding areas?
Sunspots are darker because they are cooler than the surrounding area.
Why is it colder at the poles?
The poles are colder than other regions because sunlight hits them at a more oblique angle, spreading out the energy over a larger area and making it less intense. This results in lower temperatures at the poles compared to regions closer to the equator.
Why are the highland regions colder than the surrounding regions?
Temperature decreases with altitude
Is an ocean or river colder?
It depends. If the river is in the mountains or near the Poles than it's probably colder but if the ocean is like the arctic ocean or something like that then that's probably colder

Which is more dense – air that is 90 degrees or air that is 40 degrees?
Colder air is denser than warmer air
