What else can I help you with?
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.
What cause currents to flow between the poles of the equator?
warm-water
What carries warm water from bear the equator toward the poles?
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.
Do areas near the equator experience more condensation and precipitation than areas near the poles?
Yes because the sun is very strong near the equator which means more evaporation happens. The more evaporation the more condensation. AKA the water cycle.
What describes the movement of water between the poles and the equator?
The movement of water between the poles and the equator is driven by global wind patterns and ocean currents. Warm water moves from the equator towards the poles, while cold water flows from the poles towards the equator in a process known as thermohaline circulation. This exchange of water helps regulate global climate and ocean temperatures.
Why does warm ocean water near the equator not melt the earths poles when it travels to the poles?
because it gets cold on the way.
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.
Deep ocean currents are caused by the sinking of warm water near the poles?
False
Why are there more phytoplankton near the earth's poles?
More phytoplankton is found near the Earths poles because the colder water brings more nutrients to the surface and the plankton thrives. If the water is too warm then the nutrients aren't brought up and the plankton dies.
How do the waters of the earths ocean help distribute heat from one place to another?
The heat transfers through the entire ocean, since its technically one big global ocean.
Where do cold water currents begin?
if a current originates near the poles and flows towards the equator, it will be colder than all the water it meets. Hence it will be a cold current. ...conversely, if it originates near the equator and flows towards the pole, it will be warmer than the water it meets and be a warm current. In a Short Summary Cold Ocean Currents Originate From The Poles And Warm Ocean Currents Originate From The Equator
Describe the temperature of the currents that flow away from the equator and explain why they are this way?
Heating by the sun near the equator makes the water there warm. In the polar regions, the water is cold. Cold water weighs more than warm and as a result, the warm waters of the equator drift toward the poles. The cold wear from the poles then flows toward the equator to replace the warm water that is leaving.
A warm ocean current affecting England's climate?
Currents that originate near the equator are going to be warm water currents, and currents that form near the poles will be cold water currents. It is the temperature of the waters in these currents that influence the climates of the land masses by or around which they flow.
What does warm water do to the climate?
Ocean currents move warm water from the equator to the poles and cold water from the poles back to the equator. The heat carried north helps warm the northern countries in the winter time.
Where do cold water and warm water currents begin?
Cold Water begins at the poles and warm water begins at the equator
Where do cold-water and warm-water currents begin?
Cold Water begins at the poles and warm water begins at the equator
Where does Warm tropical water flows towards?
Poles
