Energy is carried from the equator to poles in surface currents.
Energy is carried from the equator to poles in surface currents.

Energy is absorbed more than radiated near the equator.
Energy is absorbed more than radiated near the equator.

Energy is absorbed more than radiated near the poles.
Energy is absorbed more than radiated near the poles.

Energy is radiated more than absorbed near the poles.
Energy is radiated more than absorbed near the poles.

Energy is radiated more than absorbed near the equator.
Energy is radiated more than absorbed near the equator.

Answer 1

The three correct answers regarding the transfer of thermal energy in the oceans are:

1. Energy is carried from the equator to poles in deep ocean currents.
2. Energy is carried from the equator to poles in surface currents.
3. Energy is absorbed more than radiated near the equator.

The statements regarding energy absorption and radiation at the poles are inverted, as near the poles, energy is typically radiated more than absorbed due to their colder, less sunlit environments.
