Which of these phenomena causes uneven heating of the Earth?
Group of answer choices

Land and water have the same rate of heat absorption.

The angle of incoming sunlight varies at different places.

Winds blow in the same direction across Earth’s surface.

Land and water have different heat capacities.

Air travels from areas of low pressure to areas of high pressure.

1 answer

The correct answers that contribute to the uneven heating of the Earth are:

  1. The angle of incoming sunlight varies at different places.
  2. Land and water have different heat capacities.

These two factors are key in causing uneven heating across the Earth's surface. The angle of sunlight affects how much solar energy a particular area receives, while the different heat capacities of land and water influence how quickly and to what extent these surfaces heat up and cool down.

The other options listed do not directly contribute to the phenomenon of uneven heating.
