What causes two distinct pressure zone between the equator andthe poles?
The equators warm air, and the polar cold air.
Where does cold air from the poles go?
At the poles, cold air sinks. Simple
Which direction does the air currents towards the poles or away from the poles?
Away from the poles because the air near Earths surface is warm.
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles creating?
Warm air rises at the equator and cold air sinks at the poles. Warm air expands and cool air contracts and compresses.
Air flowing from the equator to the poles rises and falls in looping patterns What are these patterns called?
These looping patterns of air flow are called Hadley cells near the equator, Ferrel cells in the mid-latitudes, and Polar cells near the poles. This atmospheric circulation helps redistribute heat and moisture around the Earth.
What causes the global air convection current between the equators and the poles?
earths tilt (apex)
Why is the troposphere thinner at the poles?
As air gets colder it contracts. While the total amount of air is about the same in any column of the troposphere, at the cold poles that column takes up less space, resulting in a shorter distance to the top of the troposphere.
What are the pressure conditions of the air above poles?
Generally the poles are cold places, receiving Sunlight at a low angle or no Sun at all. This means the air above the poles tends to be cooler than the rest of the planet. Cold air is dense so the pressure of the air at the poles tends to be higher than the rest of the planet. Thus air (cold air) tends to flow away from the polar regions along the Earth's surface to be replaced by light warmer air flowing into the poles at a higher level (this air then cools). There is therefore a general flow of warm air north and south towards the poles from the equator and a flow of cold air from the poles towards the equator. This flow of air spreads out the heat from the Sun, warming the poles and cooling the tropics. In detail this overall flow is restricted by the thickness of Earth's atmosphere and several flow cells form to complete the chain causing Earth's climatic zones.
Where does the general flow of air from the poles to the equator occur?
in the stratosphere
Where does general flow of air from the poles to the equator occurs?
in the stratosphere
What causes two distinct pressure zone between the equator andthe poles?
The equators warm air, and the polar cold air.
What type of air pressure typically occurs in the polar regions?
Generally the poles are cold places, receiving Sunlight at a low angle or no Sun at all. This means the air above the poles tends to be cooler than the rest of the planet. Cold air is dense so the pressure of the air at the poles tends to be higher than the rest of the planet. Thus air (cold air) tends to flow away from the polar regions along the Earth's surface to be replaced by light warmer air flowing into the poles at a higher level (this air then cools). There is therefore a general flow of warm air north and south towards the poles from the equator and a flow of cold air from the poles towards the equator. This flow of air spreads out the heat from the Sun, warming the poles and cooling the tropics. In detail this overall flow is restricted by the thickness of Earth's atmosphere and several flow cells form to complete the chain causing Earth's climatic zones.
Why does air flow from the poles to the equator?
Air flows from the poles to the equator due to the temperature difference between the two regions. Warm air rises at the equator, creating a low-pressure system, while cold air sinks at the poles, creating a high-pressure system. This pressure difference causes air to flow from the poles towards the equator to balance out the pressure.
Can electricity flow in gases?
lighting and the tesla coil flow in gass High voltage will flow thru anything, including air.
Where does cold air from the poles go?
At the poles, cold air sinks. Simple
How do you clean a mass air flow sensor on a Chevy Suburban?
Purchase a can of mass air flow cleaner and follow the directions on the can. Don't try to clean it with anything else!
Cool air over the poles will?
Actually, cool air tends to be more dense and flow under warm air
