Correct answers (three):
- Energy is absorbed more than radiated near the equator.
- Energy is radiated more than absorbed near the poles.
- Energy is carried from the equator to poles in surface currents.
Explanation: The tropics receive more solar energy than they lose, while polar regions lose more energy than they gain. Much of the poleward heat transport occurs in warm surface currents (e.g., Gulf Stream), with deep currents largely returning colder water.
