Incoming solar radiation is almost double at the equator then at the poles, causing the water closer to the equator to be warmer. The heat difference also causes the oceans to swirl so the water that is around the equator will eventually end up at the poles and keep circulating around.

PLS HELP ASAP<br> decribe the importance of agriculture of the people in central america
sasho [114]

Their progress and wealth is highly dependent on the harvests, and the price of grain. They probably have to import some industrial products and if they had a bad year (weather, other catastrophies, poor technology) they can't get the necessary amount of industrial products in exchange for their surplus e. g. in grain. There are so many standards and requirements about the quality of food production that no country can survive solely on agriculture without high quality technology (machines, unharmful fertilizers, research-based breeding, etc.).
