Question 22
Examine how solar energy is redistributed through circulation patterns in the atmosphere and oceans.
Step 1
Answer
Solar energy is absorbed by the Earth's surface, primarily in equatorial regions, leading to significant temperature differences between the equator and the poles. This uneven heating drives atmospheric circulation patterns such as the Hadley cells, Ferrel cells, and polar cells.
Step 2
Answer
Oceans also play a crucial role in redistributing solar energy. The major ocean currents, such as the Gulf Stream and the California Current, facilitate the movement of warm and cold water across different regions.
Step 3
Answer
The atmosphere and oceans interact through processes such as evaporation and precipitation, further influencing circulation patterns.
