A) The equatorial zone is a region of net deficits. B) The polar regions are areas of net surpluses. C) The distribution shows an imbalance of net radiation from equator to poles. D) More energy is lost than is gained in the equatorial regions. E) The midlatitudes are the area of the largest surpluses throughout the year.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distribution of shortwave and longwave energy at Earth's surface by latitude shows an imbalance of net radiation from the equator to the poles. Low-latitude energy surpluses and high-latitude energy deficits produce the poleward transport of energy and mass in each hemisphere, through atmospheric circulation and ocean currents.
