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

Energy is carried from the equator to poles in deep ocean currents.
Energy is carried from the equator to poles in deep ocean currents.

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

Energy is absorbed more than radiated near the poles.

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 reflect the processes by which thermal energy is distributed in the oceans, with warm water moving away from the equator towards the poles and a net gain of energy near the equator compared to the poles.
