What else can I help you with?
Do all rivers flow towards the equator?
No. Easy answer. Rivers flow from higher elevations to lower elevations, typically to larger bodies of water.
Why do warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator?
Warm ocean currents cool as they flow along a coastline away from the equator because sand and minerals are transported by ocean currents away from the equator.
When winds generally flow away from the equator and towards the poles what transfer of wind does this cause?
an energy transfer, with heat energy moving away from the equator
Do warm currents flow toward the equator or away?
Warm currents generally flow toward the poles from the equator. This creates a transfer of warm water from the equator to higher latitudes, helping to moderate temperatures in these regions.
Winds generally flow away from the equator and towards the poles. What transfer does this flow of wind cause?
an energy transfer, with heat energy moving away from the equator. Studyisland question. Hope it helps :) Studyisland sucks especially when you are stuck.
Which two rivers are nearest to the equator?
Two of the most famous rivers in the world are close to the equator. The Nile and the Congo rivers have been the birthplace of many civilizations
What is transported when warm ocean currents cool as they flow along the coastline away from the equator?
Water
Why do streams and rivers cause erosion?
They Create Deltas.
What is the difference between tributary and distributary?
Tributaries flow into and distributaries flow away from.
How many rivers flow backwards?
Actually, there is no river that runs "backwards." All rivers flow downhill from source to mouth. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/River#Flow for more information.~Correction~There is one that I know of ....The water level in the Bay of Fundy rises above the level of the St. John River in New Brunswick, Canada. The force of the incoming tide overpowers the current of the outgoing river, and the water of the Saint John begins to flow upstream - completely in reverse. New rapids form in the river, flowing in the other direction, and the effect of the tide is felt as far upriver as the city of Fredericton, almost 120 kilometres northwest of Saint John.The best view of this phenomenon is from the Saint John Fallsview Park
What river flows backwards?
Because of tides coming from from NYC, the Hudson flows both ways. The native Americans who lived in the area called it Muhheakantuck, the river that flows both ways. When the tide comes in, it flows north. chicogo river None. All rivers flow forwards. However, some rivers in the North American continent flow primarily to the north, which is generally considered to be not typical of rivers in North America, since the higher elevations are in the central and northern portions of the continent. Since water must flow downhill, rivers in North America generally flow to the south. West of what is called "The Continental Divide," rivers will flow to the south and west. East of that, they will flow to the south and east. There are a few notable exceptions. The related link below lists some of them.
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.
