Air falls at the poles due to the cooling of air, which increases its density causing it to sink. In addition, high pressure systems tend to form at the poles, leading to the downward motion of air.
The name for raindrops that freeze as they fall through the air is sleet.
Indeed, in a vacuum or in air with negligible air resistance, quarters and feathers would fall at the same speed due to the acceleration due to gravity being the only force acting on the objects. This is in accordance with the principle of universal free fall.
The type of friction that occurs when objects fall through the air is called air resistance or drag. This force opposes the motion of the object as it moves through the air, slowing it down.
Heat moves from the tropics to the poles through a process called atmospheric circulation. Warm air rises at the equator, moves towards the poles at high altitudes, and then descends back towards the surface at around 30 degrees latitude. This creates wind patterns that help to distribute heat from the tropics to the poles.
Objects fall through the air at different rates due to variations in their mass, size, shape, and air resistance. Heavier objects typically fall faster than lighter ones due to the influence of gravity. Air resistance can also impact an object's rate of fall by slowing it down as it moves through the air.
At the poles, cold air sinks. Simple
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. Warm air expands and cool air contracts and compresses.
You can't. The poles are part of the path and hold it up. If there are no poles, the path would fall down, so there has to be poles. Sorry.
When an air mass forms near the poles it has warm air. This will be a large body of air which will have homogeneous moisture.
Well, yes. The North and South poles are furthest away from the equator and thus, the coldest
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.
yes
Global winds drive heated air from the equator to the poles. It also drives colder air from the poles to the equator.
The reason the tropopause is lower above the poles than the equator is... The time it takes air to cool. The surface air-temperature at the equator is much higher than at the poles, meaning that the air rises further to reach the equilibrium required at the tropopause. Likewise, the air at the poles is cooler, and does not require as much room to rise.
Because cold air is denser than warm air.
Mamadas!!!
