What is another name for middle latitudes?
Temperate latitudes. These are regions on Earth located between the tropics and the polar regions, characterized by moderate temperatures and distinct seasons.
Why do equator regions more consistent climate than regions at middle latitudes?
There is only a tropical climate as opposed to a temperate, moderate, highland, or continental climate in the middle latitudes.
What is the overall effects of winds on earth?
They transfer energy as heat from equatorial regions to high latitudes
Why do regions of the world near the equator have more consistent climate than regions at middle latitudes?
They get about the same amount of radiant energy year-round
The regions of light and unpredictable winds at about 30 degrees north and south latitudes are called?
The regions of light and unpredictable winds at about 30 degrees north and south latitudes are called the "horse latitudes." These areas are characterized by calm winds and little precipitation, often leading to the formation of deserts. The name is believed to originate from the historical practice of sailors throwing overboard horses when ships became stranded in these regions due to lack of wind.

What climate zone receives lowest insulation?
High latitude zones will have the climate with the lowest temperatures. High latitudes are home to climate zones such as the tundra and the taiga.

Which type of mechanical weathering is common in mountainous regions in the middle latitudes?
frost wedging
What are the latitudes north of the arctic circle and south of the antarctic circle called?
Those are the "polar" regions.

Earth rainiest regions are in the tropical latitudes of South America Africa and Asia how do global winds bring rain to these regions?
Warm humid Trade Winds converge over these regions
What are the regions immediately surrounding Earth's poles called?
The areas are called the "polar regions" or the "polar latitudes."
What are the regions of light and unpredictable winds at about 30 degrees North and South latitudes called?
The regions of light and unpredictable winds at about 30 degrees North and South latitudes are called the horse latitudes. These areas are known for their calm, variable winds and were historically nicknamed as such because ships would get stuck in these windless zones and have to lighten their loads by throwing horses overboard.
Are the latitudes north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle called high middle or low latitude regions?
"High" latitudes. The equator has a latitude of zero. The area between the Tropic of Cancer (at 23.5 degrees north) and the Tropic of Capricorn (at 23.5 degrees south) are the "tropics" or low latitudes. The "polar regions" are above the Arctic Circle or below the Antarctic Circle, where the latitudes are higher than 66.5 degrees (north or south) are "high". The areas between the tropics and the arctic/antarctic are called "mid-latitudes or "temperate zones".
