How old is Equator?

The equator is the same age as the current shape of the earth.


Current of water moving from the north pole toward the equator?

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.


How old is earths equator?

The equator is the same age as the current shape of the earth.


Why do outlets have 3 holes?

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.


What is the slow movement of earth's plates that carries continents toward or away from one another?

Continental drift.


What way does the equator runs north or south?

The equator is an imaginary line which runs around the widest part of the Earth in an East/West direction.


Does the earth face the equator?

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.


The atmosphere balances the unequal heating of earth's surface by moving?

Warm air toward high latitudes and cool air toward the equator


What happens when A high altitude wind system is traveling south from the Equator toward the South Pole?

be deflected to the east by the Earth's spin.


How does uneven heating of the earth set up conditions for the prevailing winds on a nonrotating earth?

It sets up two circulation cells where warm air aloft moves toward the poles and cool surface air moves toward the equator.


Where on the earth's surface is the earth rate drift of a DGI equal to 15.04o per hour?

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.


How will the hours of daylight for the North Pole change if the earths axis was always pointed toward the sun South Pole Equator your latitude?

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.
