Pacific ocean
The North Equatorial Current moves from the north pole towards the equator in the Northern Hemisphere. This current is a major ocean current that flows east-to-west between 10°-20°N. It is driven by the trade winds and plays a significant role in redistributing heat across the Earth's surface.
The equator is the same age as the current shape of the earth.
Warm water from near the equator is primarily carried toward the poles by ocean currents, particularly the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic Ocean and the Kuroshio Current in the Pacific Ocean. These currents are driven by wind patterns, Earth's rotation, and differences in water density. As they transport warm water northward, they play a crucial role in regulating climate and weather patterns in various regions. Additionally, these currents help distribute heat across the oceans, influencing marine ecosystems.
Live, neutral and earth. The supply is carried on the live and neutral, and the earth normally carries no current, but if there is a fault the earth is there as a safety factor and in some conditions it carries enough current to blow the fuse and make the circuit safe.
The equator is an imaginary line which runs around the widest part of the Earth in an East/West direction.

Continental drift.
The equator is an imaginary line which runs around the widest part of the Earth in an East/West direction.
Yes, the equator is an imaginary line that runs around the Earth's middle and divides it into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. So, the Earth faces the equator in the sense that it is oriented toward this line, but it doesn't physically "face" it like a direction.
Warm air toward high latitudes and cool air toward the equator
be deflected to the east by the Earth's spin.
It sets up two circulation cells where warm air aloft moves toward the poles and cool surface air moves toward the equator.
The earth rate drift of 15.04° per hour occurs at the equator. This value represents the angular velocity of the Earth's rotation, which is approximately 360° in 24 hours. As you move away from the equator toward the poles, the effective drift rate decreases due to the curvature of the Earth. Thus, the equator is the only location where this specific rate is observed.
If one end the Earth's axis always pointed toward the sun, then one pole would ALWAYS be in daylight, and the other pole would NEVER see daylight. Which is which would depend on which end of the axis pointed toward the sun. The Earth's "poles" are the ends of its axis of rotation. It's not possible for either end of the axis to point toward the equator or toward my latitude.
