Question

Temperatures at the poles (north pole or south pole)

A.

B.
are much higher than at the equator, causing rain to form.

C.
are the same as at the equator, creating ocean currents.

D.
are much lower than at the equator, causing winds to form.

Answer 1

D

Polar temperatures are much lower than at the equator. That large temperature (and pressure) difference helps drive atmospheric circulation — winds and large-scale air movement between equator and poles.
