The equator is warmer because it receives 

• Indirect sunlight in the form of Ultra-Violet Radiation. The sun is able to focus most of its energy directly at the polar regions
• Direct sunlight in the form of Ultra-Violet Radiation. The sun is able to focus most of its energy directly at the equator than at the polar regions.

Which of the following best describes the Coriolis Effect?

• As cool air warms due to the conduction of the land, it rises, and as the warm air cools down, it sinks creating a breeze.
• As the sun rises and sets, the path of the wind all over Earth changes direction
• As Earth spins on an axis, the Earth pulls the wind and causes it to blow in a curved path
• As the air pressure changes from the equator to the poles, the wind at the equator becomes stronger while the winds are lighter at the poles
