As you move closer to the poles, the climate generally gets colder. This is due to the angle at which sunlight reaches the Earth; polar regions receive less direct sunlight, resulting in lower temperatures. Additionally, the longer nights and shorter days during winter contribute to the overall chilliness of these regions.

How do seas affect climate?

The closer you are to a large body of water the more mild the weather is going to be. The farther you are away from the large body of water the more extreme your weather is going to get.


Why are the tropics not continually getting warmer?

The climate of the Earth is constantly changing, going from glacier-covered ice ages to warm periods called "interglacials". 1000 years ago, the glacier-covered island of Greenland used to be the home of Viking dairy farmers; it was a lot warmer then. Then the weather got a lot colder, and the ice covered the island. For the last 150 years, it's been getting warmer again, and it is now nearly as warm as in Viking times. But we really don't know WHY things change as they do, and we cannot be sure when the cycle will reverse itself and start getting colder.


Is an air mass that formed over water going to bring warm weather yes or no?

It depends on whether the body of water it formed over is warm. If it was a warm body of water, then it will bring warmer weather. If it was a cold body of water then it will bring colder weather.


Why the high land is colder than the low one?

Cooler air is lighter and rises to the top, while warmer air is heavier and sinks to the bottom. There is actually a cycle of heating and cooling of the air, which causes wind. Te longer the cooler air is of higher altitude, the warmer it is going to get; this is also true of the warmer air, but vise versa. The warmer air gets cooler and starts to rise while the cooler air gets warmer and starts to sink.


What are 6 very cold places?

The Americas are a vast land mass, divided into North and South America. Places in the Americas vary widely in their climate, but generally, North America has colder weather than South America. Within North America, the farther north you go, the colder it can get. Places like Greenland (which is actually not green, its mostly ice/snow) and Alaska have really cold winters with lots of snow. Canada is colder in general versus the United States. Within the United States, the northern states like Minnesota or Vermont are much colder on average than the southern states, like Florida or New Mexico. To sum it up, just pick a place on the map, and chances are that the places north of that are going to be colder, and the places south of it are warmer.

Why is it usually warmer in Texas than Ohio?

Texas is, for those who are geographically challenged. Texas is closer to the equator, therefore the climate is warmer. Ohio also gets snow, quite a bunch. But i wouldn't suggest going to either state. Texas and Ohio Both have bad football teams, Texas has too many fat rednecks, and Ohio just is horrible.

What is the climate in mountains?

The climate of mountains can vary depending on the altitude. For example, as the mountain goes higher, the temperature because colder. The temperature of the mountains can go down about 11 degrees Fahrenheit with every 3200 feet going up.


What would happen if the sun came closer to earth and what would happen to the plants?

If the earth got pulled in closer to the sun, or if the sun expands significantly, then the earth will get much warmer. That said, nothing like that is going to happen for a couple billion years yet.


How does the latitude of your BIOME affect its climate?

The latitude of a biome affects its climate by influencing factors such as temperature and amount of sunlight received. Biomes near the equator typically have warm temperatures and consistent sunlight, while those closer to the poles experience more variation in temperature and sunlight throughout the year. This variation in climate influences the types of plants and animals that can thrive in each biome.


Why does my cpap have condensation when I stay in a hotel?

Mine did the same thing. It does it at home now too, but not as bad as in hotel. I believe the reason is it is colder in the room and when the air going through the tubing gets colder the water condenses. it makes a very annoying sound and can actually wake you up. I do believe there is an insulation available to keep the tubing warmer to prevent this from occuring, i have not tried this yet but I am going to


How does climate affect tourism in the southeast US?

Climate change is going to make it more warmer, to the extent where it will become intolerable, and the climate change is going to heat up the oceans, which will then cause more hurricanes to form, since they dwell on the ocean's heat. This will cause tourist resorts in the area of question to shut down during the hurricane's visit and it will decrease tourism rates.


How does convection take place in roasting a marshmallow?

Once the inside is more liquid-like, the upper substance comes down because it's relatively colder, and the warmer substance moves up. that cycle keeps going.
