GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Temperature decreases progressively from equator towards the poles because it receives less sunlight. As we go away from equator the temperature decreases and in poles it becomes very little or none.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The temperature of the polar regions is significantly colder than the equatorial regions because the sun’s rays are not directly at the poles. Thus poles receive the slanted rays of the sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -The annual average temperature at the North Pole is minus 40 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 40 degrees Celsius) in winter and 32 F (0 C) in summer. In contrast, the South Pole’s averages are far frostier, with an annual average temperature of minus 76 F (minus 60 C) in winter and minus 18 F (minus 28.2 C) in summer.

Detailed explanation-4: -The air temperature diminishes as we move from the equator towards the poles because the sun’s ray’s reach the earth at an angle outside the tropics. So the temperature decreases.

Detailed explanation-5: -As the difference between the temperature at the poles and the tropics decreases, there could be less energy for these storms to absorb, a change that could weaken them or make them less frequent. Temperatures are warming more near the poles than near the equator.
