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

The three correct answers regarding the difference in energy absorbed versus energy radiated at the equator and the poles are:

  1. Energy is absorbed more than radiated near the equator.
  2. Energy is absorbed more than radiated near the poles.
  3. Energy is radiated more than absorbed near the poles.

(Note: The statement "Energy is carried from the equator to poles in surface currents" and "Energy is carried from the equator to poles in deep ocean currents" are also true, but these do not directly address the question about energy absorbed versus energy radiated.)
