Distance equals rate multiplied by time. A point on the equator will travel more distance during one revolution than a corresponding point on the Arctic Circle. Since the elapsed time is the same, the point on the equator must be going at a faster rate.
because the diameter at the equator is larger than at the poles, so in the same amount of time as the rest of the planet, the equator has to cover more distance in its rotation than the poles' rotation does.
The circumferance of the equator is greater than that at other points (relative to the rotating axis) so it has to travel further in the same amount of time. Harry F
poles
The Earth's rotation turns the polar high pressure systems westward as they move from the poles (westerlies), and the subtropical high pressure systems eastward as they move toward the equator (tropical easterlies).
The equators warm air, and the polar cold air.
No, it is not true. The magnetic poles may be influenced by Earth's rotation, but they are certainly not defined by it.
Only the magnetic poles wanderD.Earth's magnetic and geographic poles are generally not in the same place.Geographic poles are defined by Earth's rotation.
The temperatures at the equator tend to be warm to hot (except where there are mountains); the temperatures at the poles tend to be below freezing.

The Earth's rotation turns the polar high pressure systems westward as they move from the poles (westerlies), and the subtropical high pressure systems eastward as they move toward the equator (tropical easterlies).

By the axis of earths rotation
Because the middle of the earths surface is the hottest on earth and the equator is right in the middle and the poles is at the end of the earths surfaces
