Why do currents flow faster at the equator than at the polls?
Because the water is warmer at the equator than at the pole. The warmer ocean water is the faster the currents move and the colder the water is the slow the currents move.
Is the circumference of the earth measured around the surface or the atmosphere?
It is measured around the surface of the earth. The atmosphere has its own measurement excluded from that of the Earth. The Equator is bulged, and the Poles slightly flattened. The figure given is for sea level, and ignores any mountains. The Poles are about 21.4 km closer to the centre of the Earth than the Equator is.
Why is the air temperature near the ceiling of a room tends to be warmer than near th floor?
The hot air is lighter than the cool air so it floats to the ceiling.:)
Why does the earth's surface heated unevenly?
The Equator, and the poles receive different amounts of heat because they are at different positions on Earth and the farther away you are from the Sun, the less heat you receive, so it's hotter near the Equator than the North/South Poles.
Why is there twilight between day and night - not just sunset then darkness?
Because the Earth has an atmosphere. The sunlight refracts, diffracts and diffuses (bends and is spread out) by particles and the gases of the atmosphere. The light is still substantial even when the center of the sun is 10 degrees below the horizon. This is also why night comes much quicker in low latitudes (near the equator) than in high latitudes (near the poles).
Why is ocean water near the equator warmer than ocean water at the poles?
The ocean receives most of its heat along the equator, where incoming solar radiation is about double that received at the poles. Hence, sea surfaces are much warmer along the equator than at the poles.
What is warmer near the equator than near the poles?
The equator is the center of Earth. In the center of the Earth it is very hot because of all of the under ground volcanoes.
Which one is hotter the Equator or the Poles?
On our Earth, the Equator is comparatively warmer than either of the Poles.
Air near the equator average higher temperatures than air near the poles?
Yes, air near the equator is typically warmer than air near the poles due to the angle at which sunlight strikes the earth. Near the equator, sunlight is more concentrated, resulting in higher temperatures. In contrast, near the poles, sunlight is spread out over a larger area, leading to cooler temperatures.
Do temps get colder or warmer near the equator?
temperatures get warmer as you get near the equator due to the closer the equator is to the sun than the poles. Usually as you get to the equator the weather becomes more tropical and humid but it is still warm.
Why is it warmer near the equator than near th poles?
it is because since the earth is round, the light penetrates it first, than the land around the peak of the globe
Why is the climate near the equator warmer than the other places?
The climate near the equator is warmer than most other places because the sun is closest to the equator.
Why is the climate near the equator warmer than other places?
The climate near the equator is warmer than most other places because the sun is closest to the equator.
What is a good concluding sentence for why is it generally warmer near the equator than the poles?
A good concluding sentence is is there more faces that we will learn and the answer to that is yes
Why are averages temperatures higher at the equator than near the poles?
The energy that reaches the equator is more intense than the energy that strikes poles
Why is water near the equator warmer than water at the poles?
Water near the equator is warmer than water at the poles primarily due to the angle of sunlight. At the equator, sunlight strikes the surface more directly, leading to higher temperatures as the energy is concentrated over a smaller area. In contrast, at the poles, sunlight arrives at a more oblique angle, spreading the energy over a larger area and resulting in cooler temperatures. Additionally, the equatorial regions experience less seasonal variation, maintaining consistently warmer water temperatures year-round.
What is the main reason why Earth is warmer at the equator than at the North and South Poles?
Earth is warmer at the equator than at the poles mainly due to the angle at which sunlight strikes the Earth's surface. Near the equator, sunlight hits more directly, providing more heat energy per unit area, whereas at the poles, sunlight strikes at an oblique angle, spreading the energy over a larger area and thus resulting in cooler temperatures.
