Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At approximately 36° latitude, there is an energy balance between energy gains from the sun and energy losses due to radiation. At the Tropic of Capricorn and the Tropic of Cancer, there is an energy surplus in the summer and a deficit in the winter. The equator has an energy surplus year-round, and energy imbalances between the tropics and the poles are significant.
