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.

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.

These statements accurately describe how thermal energy is transferred in the oceans, highlighting the important role of ocean currents and the differences in energy absorption between the equator and the poles.
