Hypothetically, if the Earth's surface was entirely composed of water, there would be a single convection cell where hot air rises and moves towards the poles, while cold air moves towards the Equator as wind, undercutting the hot air. This idea was proposed by Halley (1686) and developed by Hadley (1735).
The existence of irregularities in the Earth's surface (land) results in three convection cells: Hadley, Ferrel and a weak Polar cell.
Key words to investigate: tricellular model, Inter-Tropical-Convergence-Zone (ITCZ) (existing between the Northern and Southern Hemisphere Hadley cells), doldrums (weak winds experienced in the ITCZ) and jet streams.
What else can I help you with?
Why does heat equator shifts between January and July?
The shift in the heat equator between January and July is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun. In January, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, causing the heat equator to shift south. In July, the tilt is towards the Southern Hemisphere, causing the heat equator to shift north.
Which imaginary lines are based on the equator?
The lines are latitude,heat equator and pressure belts.
What natural disasters happen at the equator?
Big wind storms, called hurricanes and typhoons, tend to happen near the equator, not necessarily at the equator exactly. Heat drives the weather. The more heat you have, the more violent the weather will become.
What is the definition of heat equator?
The thermal equator (also known as "the heat equator") is a belt encircling the Earth, defined by the set of locations having the highest mean annual temperature at each longitude around the globe.
Does the equator go through Cameroon?
No. Cameroon is just north of the equator.
Does the equator give off heat?
No the equator does not give off heat. The reason the equator is warmer than other places is because the equator gets the most direct sunlight from the sun.
What explains why the trade winds blow towards the Equator?
The Equator receives the most heat energy
How does the sun heat water at the equator?
the sun's solar radiation travels through space until it hits earth. because heat is just vibrating particles, it starts to heat the water at the equator.
Why does heat equator shifts between January and July?
The shift in the heat equator between January and July is due to the tilt of the Earth's axis as it orbits the Sun. In January, the Southern Hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, causing the heat equator to shift south. In July, the tilt is towards the Southern Hemisphere, causing the heat equator to shift north.

What happends to the surplus heat around the equator?
It is radiated back into space and most of the retained heat enters the atmosphere. This happens everywhere on the globe, not just the equator. However the ewuator has the highest amount or surplus heat.
What areas are affected the most by heat waves?
Around the Equator
Where on the earth is heat energy from the sun the strongest?
Around the equator.
What is the definition of heat equator?
The thermal equator (also known as "the heat equator") is a belt encircling the Earth, defined by the set of locations having the highest mean annual temperature at each longitude around the globe.
Where does warm air come from?
Fearsom 1: heat, idiot. heat. Spearer: Heat comes from the sun, and the sun strikes the equator the most direct. Heat originally comes from the sun, but if you are getting heat in the winter in Michigan, it's because of a warm front coming from somewhere closer to the equator.
If you were in Madison Wisconsin is it closer to go to the north pole or the equator?
equator
