About how many kilometers is the distance around Earth at the equator?
The average depth of the troposphere is approximately 17 km (11 mi) in the middle latitudes. It is deeper in the tropical regions, up to 20 km (12 mi), and shallower near the poles, at 7 km (4.3 mi) in summer, and indistinct in winter.
Is the net primary productivity more at he equator or poles?
Net primary productivity is typically higher at the equator due to the abundance of sunlight, warmth, and moisture which provide optimal conditions for plant growth. In contrast, lower temperatures and shorter growing seasons at the poles limit plant productivity.
What divides the earth into equal halves?

What is the definition of equater?
An equation is any kind of number sentence that is set equal to something. (Ex~ 3+d*5= is an equation because it has an equals sign.)
________________________________________________________
- Generally equation is the act or process of equating or of being equated. It is the state of being equal.
- In mathematics, equation is a statement asserting the equality of two expressions, usually written as a linear array of symbols that are separated into left and right sides and joined by an equal sign.
- In chemistry, equation is a representation of a chemical reaction, usually written as a linear array in which the symbols and quantities of the reactants are separated from those of the products by an equal sign, an arrow, or a set of opposing arrows.

Why does air rise at the equator?
Air rises at the equator because it is heated more intensely than at other latitudes due to the direct overhead position of the sun. This causes the air to expand and become less dense, leading to upward movement known as convection, creating a low-pressure zone.
