What else can I help you with?
Why does the air over the equator rise?
Probably because it is warmer and hence lighter.
When was Air Equator created?
Air Equator was created in 2003.
When did Confederation of the Equator happen?
Confederation of the Equator happened in 1824.
A continental tropical air mass is dry and warm because it forms over what?
A continental tropical air mass is dry and warm because it forms over land near the equator where the sun's rays are intense, leading to warming and evaporation of moisture.
Why do doldrums happen?
Doldrums form over the equator because of the high tempuratures. Doldrums are areas around the equator that receive little wind. Heating causes air to expand, creating a zone of low pressure. This concludes that cloudy weather and rain develop almost every single afternoon.
Why do hurricanes happen close to equator?
Hurricanes happen over hot water ... which is found close to the equator.
Why does the air over the equator rise?
Probably because it is warmer and hence lighter.
The troposphere is most likely to be thickest?
near the equator, where the warmer temperatures lead to greater vertical expansion of the air.
When did Air Equator end?
Air Equator ended in 2005.
When was Air Equator created?
Air Equator was created in 2003.
What air mass forms over the ocean near the equator?
mT, maritime tropic
When did Confederation of the Equator happen?
Confederation of the Equator happened in 1824.
What forms a a result of rising air at the equator?
Clouds form as air rises at the equator.
How do air get their characteristics?
Air masses get their characteristics from their source region, which is the surface/region over where it formed. For example, if an air mass formed over an ocean near the equator, it would be called a mT. m stands for maritime (ocean) and T stands for tropical (near the equator/hot). Hope this helps people.
Describe the movement of air in the huge convection current between 30 north latitude and the equator?
Air rises at the equator and then flows northward. At about 30 degrees north latitude, the air sinks. When it reaches the surface, it flows south, back toward the equator. At the equator, the air rises again and the cycle starts all over.
A continental tropical air mass is dry and warm because it forms over what?
A continental tropical air mass is dry and warm because it forms over land near the equator where the sun's rays are intense, leading to warming and evaporation of moisture.
What causes the low pressure regions that prevails over the tropics?
Constant heating from the sun causes air to rise, then flow away from the equator. Sinking air in the subtropics spreads out and some of it flows toward the equator. This creates a "cell" (Hadley Cell) of circulation that constantly generates rising air at the equator and therefore low pressure.
