This is caused by convection, in which warm, less-dense air rises, and flows toward the poles until it cools and sinks again.

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
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.

Why do the poles equator heat differently?
The equator is closer to the Sun.The sunlight falls directly through the atmosphere and onto the Earth's surface, and is warmer.At the poles the sunlight is on a slant and has further to travel so cools down faster.
The area around the equator is usually hot What happens to the temperature at the poles?
the temperature at the poles are cold due to albedo which is that light substances reflect heat back into the atmosphere

Heat from the equator region moved toward the poles in what process of thermal energy transfer?
Convection

Why less heat is falls on poles?
because the equator gets the most
Why do the poles equator heat differently?

What creates the air pressure between the equator and poles?
The winds from the north pole and the south pole along with the heat from the south and the cold from the north.
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 creates the air pressure difference between the equator and the poles?
The winds from the north pole and the south pole along with the heat from the south and the cold from the north.
What creates the air pressure difference between the equator and poles?
The winds from the north pole and the south pole along with the heat from the south and the cold from the north.
What causes the global air convection current between the equator and the poles?
earths tilt (apex)
What type of storm is characterized as a circulation cell?
The type of storm that is characterized as a circulation cell is a tornado. Circulation cells are large areas of movement created by the rotation of the earth and the transfer of heat from the equator toward the poles.
