If Winds Did Not Move Away from the Equator to the Poles

Question

If winds did not move away from the equator to the poles:
A)temperatures at the poles would be lower.
B)ocean currents would be stronger.
C)temperatures at the equator would be lower.
D)the oceans would release more heat into the atmosphere.

Accepted Answer

Winds moving away from the equator towards the poles help distribute heat and warm air from the equator towards the poles. Without this movement, temperatures at the poles would be lower due to a lack of warm air flowing towards them.
