The energy that reaches the equator is more intense than the energy that strikes poles
What else can I help you with?
On a map of average annual temperature why are the lower latitudes so much warmer than the higher latitudes?

Does warmer air contain less water vapor than cooler air?
No, warmer air can hold more water vapor than cooler air. Warmer air has the ability to hold more water vapor molecules before reaching saturation, while cooler air has a lower capacity for water vapor. This is why we often experience higher humidity levels in warmer climates or during the summer months.
What occurs during temperature inversion?
A temperature inversion occurs when air temperature at the upper layer are much warmer than the lower layer of air..
What percentage of a lower tropic level and energy flows to the next higher tropic level?
The lower region will flow to the higher region as much as possible. The two sides will become equal to each other.in this process.
If a gas condenses to liquid will it make its surroundings warmer or cooler?
Much warmer.

When it is winter in higher latitudes regions along the sea experience a mild climate while inland regions experience a very cold climate why?
There are two reasons:The ocean acts as a significant thermal reservoir. Water has an amazingly high heat capacity, i.e it takes a lot more energy to raise and lower the temperature of water than it does most substances - and a lot of energy to freeze/thaw or evaporate/condense. The temperature of the air near the ocean is moderated by this - if the air is cold, the ocean can warm it without being changed very much in temperatureOcean currents can carry warmer water from lower latitudes to the higher latitudes. Areas near this warmer coastal water benefit from this by having the air above it absorb some of the energy of the comparatively warmer water to moderate the temperature swings. Inland the land stays put (unless you load it in trucks a and transport it - and even then you would have a hard time moving as much thermal mass as the ocean currents do naturally)
What would happen if the earth was tilted 100 degrees?
If the Earth was tilted at 100 degrees (instead of 23), there would be drastically different variations of climate. It would be much warmer at high latitudes in the summer, and much cooler at low latitudes in the winter.
Why is US colder than the UK even with lower latitudes?
This isn't a technical explanation, but it has to do with the fact that the UK is coastal. The ocean currents, which hit the UK from the west are warmer and keep it cooler there than the middle of the continent in North America. This also explains why Washington state is much less cold in the winter than Minnesota, at similar latitudes.

Is the risk of a heart attack is higher or lower for people who smoke?
much higher
Is 10 degree warmer than 38 Fahrenheit?
Yes, 10 degrees Celsius is warmer than 38 degrees Fahrenheit. This is because the Celsius scale has a lower zero point than the Fahrenheit scale, so the same change in temperature in Celsius will result in a higher temperature compared to Fahrenheit.
How does air pressure affect how a ball bounces?
Air doesn't effect the bounce of the ball much higher air pressure the harder the ball lower pressure softer the ball temp effects it too colder soft warmer harder
How much oil pressure should your 2004 Corvette Have?
Anywhere from 35-65 psi. Higher psi at higher RPM's. Lower at lower RPM's.
How much higher is the level of friction on ice than on roads?
It is not - it is lower!
Why does higher latitudes experience verycold climate?
because they are Very close to the North Pole, where the sun is hitting the earth at much less of an angle than at the Equator and everywhere else between. the higher the sun in the sky the warmer the temperatures...everything else being equal. It also has to do with the Jet stream and the patterns of the earths climate in general...its a V broad question, but Ive given you the simple answer to explain it enough for you at this stage.
Do temperatures get cooler or warmer near the equator?
Warmer, much warmer.
