WHat is the relationship between sailinity in the ocean and latitude? Subtropic, tropic and polar?

Salinity and the latitude is related because of the thermohaline circulation of the ocean waters. This means that the waters circulated around ocean and are driven by density (not temperature). The thermohaline circulation means that the are denser waters at high latitude due to high evaporation rates found in the tropics. Hope that helps

The general patter of wind now is a three-cell model, with sinking air at 30 degrees lat and rising at 60.\n\nWith no rotation, wind would move straight from the cold, sinking poles to the warm, rising equatorial region, i.e. a one-cell model.

the equator has 2 seasons.  Spring and summer. When it is spring time here, or australia, then the sun is directly overhead at the equator, meaning summer for them.  When it is summer or winter here, that means that the sun is on either the tropic of cancer (23 1/2 degrees north) or on the tropic of capricorn (23 1/2 degrees south) meaning it is spring there.

A wide variety of wierd things would happen.  For one temperatures would increase more and decrease to lower values on the sunlit and shaded sides of the world.  Ocean currents and weather patterns would change dramatically.  Winds would blow directly toward the equator in both the southern and northern hemispheres.  Large circular currents called gyres which exist in all ocean basins would dissapear.  The tides would also be much different because the earth's rotation strongly influences tidal characteristics.

Answer is C.\n\nThe seasons result from the Earth's axis being tilted to its orbital plane; it deviates by an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees of arc. Thus, at any given time during the summer or winter, one part of the planet is more directly exposed to the rays of the Sun (see Fig. 1). This exposure alternates as the Earth revolves in its orbit. At any given time, regardless of season, the northern and southern hemispheres experience opposite seasons (see Fig. 2 and Month ranges of seasons (below) and Effect of sun angle on climate).\n\nSeasonal weather fluctuations also depend on factors such as proximity to oceans or other large bodies of water, currents in those oceans, El Niño/ENSO and other oceanic cycles, and prevailing winds.\n\nIn the temperate and polar regions, seasons are marked by changes in the amount of sunlight, which in turn often cause cycles of dormancy in plants and hibernation in animals. These effects vary with latitude, and with proximity to bodies of water. For example, the South Pole is in the middle of the continent of Antarctica, and therefore a considerable distance from the moderating influence of the southern oceans. The North Pole is in the Arctic Ocean, and thus its temperature extremes are buffered by the presence of all that water. The result is that the South Pole is consistently colder during the southern winter than the North Pole during the northern winter.\nThe cycle of seasons in the polar and temperate zones of one hemisphere is opposite to that in the other. When it is summer in the Northern hemisphere, it is winter in the Southern hemisphere, and vice versa, and when it is spring in the Northern hemisphere it is autumn in the Southern hemisphere, and vice versa.\n\nIn the tropics, there is no noticeable change in the amount of sunlight. However, many regions (famously the northern Indian Ocean) are subject to monsoon rain and wind cycles. Curiously, a study of temperature records over the past 300 years (David Thompson, Science, April 1995) shows that the climatic seasons, and thus the seasonal year, are governed by the anomalistic year rather than the tropical year.\n\nIn meteorological terms, the winter solstice and summer solstice (or the date maximum/minimum insolation) do not fall in the middle of winter and summer respectively. The heights of these seasons occur up to a month later due to seasonal lag. Seasons though, are not always defined in meteorological terms; see reckoning\n\nCompared to axial tilt, other factors contribute little to seasonal temperature changes. It's a common misconception that the seasons are the result of the variation in Earth’s distance to the sun due to its elliptical orbit.[1] Orbital eccentricity can influence temperatures, but on Earth, this effect is small and is more than counteracted by other factors; research shows that the Earth as a whole is actually a few degrees warmer when farther from the sun.[2] Mars however experiences wide temperature variations and violent dust storms every year at perihelion.[3]\n\nYou could get more information from the link below...

it has to do with the depth of the ocean and how the sun is hitting it

At similar latitudes, the sun's rays hit the earth with the same intensity. this causes the relative temperatures to be similar. \nOther factors that come into play other than latitude are:\n1) elevation (height above sea level)\n2) proximity to lakes/oceans, (so humidity)\n3) winds (jet streams, currents, etc. that carry weather systems into an area)

Andromeda answer sounds close to the mark.\n\nAt equator, ascending 6--8 thousand feet gets you out of the sweltering tropical lower levels and into the more temperate zone analogous to surface travel from equator to 35 or 40 degrees North Latitude.\n\nSo seven thousand feet is about 28 degrees cooler.  Wonderful!  Those Mountain Gorillas may be more clever than we think.

I think you are referring to the fact that there is a geographical north pole and a magnetic north pole.  \n\nThe North Pole can be defined in four different ways. Only the first two definitions are commonly used.\n\nHowever it is defined, the North Pole lies in the Arctic Ocean. It is not on land as the south pole is, so there is no land, just permanently frozen waters.\n\nThe Geographic North Pole, also known as True North, is approximately the northern point at which the Earth's axis of rotation meets the surface. \n\nThe Magnetic North Pole is the northern point at which the geomagnetic field points vertically, i.e. the dip is 90°. \n\nThe Geomagnetic North Pole is the pole of the Earth's geomagnetic field's dipole moment (somewhat confusingly, it is technically the south pole of the dipole). (I really don't know what that means!!!)\n\nThe Northern Pole of Inaccessibility is defined as the point in the Arctic farthest from any coastline, and is at 84°03′N 174°51′W. Similar poles exist in the Pacific and Indian oceans, and there is a dry land pole of inaccessibility in the Antarctic. \n\nThe website I've attached gives lots more information.

The north pole is +90 degrees, or 90 degrees north; south pole is -90 degrees, or 90 degrees south.

The answer is that it depends on where the location lies on the Earth (its latitude). The closer to the center of the Earth (the equator), the warmer it is. The closest to the ends of the Earth (the poles), the colder it is. If a location is quite close to the equator or the poles, it won't have significant differences between their seasons like other locations do.

The subpolar pressure belt (aka subpolar low) is formed as a result of the interaction between the dry, cold wind of the polar easterlies and the moist, warm winds of the mid-latitude westerlies.

At that latitude (dist from equator) Air tends to descend instead of rise (and create rain) like in the tropics.  Look at all land around that dist from the equator.  Mostly dry if it is not coastal.
