SSC Geography QUESTION #6302
Question 1
The concept of the heat budget of the Earth achieving equilibrium implies which set of conditions?
  • Incoming solar radiation equals outgoing terrestrial radiation globally
  • Tropical regions have energy surplus while polar regions have deficit
  • Latitudinal heat transfer by ocean and atmosphere currents
  • All of the above conditions must be satisfied✔️
Correct Answer Explanation
Earth's heat budget equilibrium requires: (1) global balance between incoming solar and outgoing terrestrial radiation, (2) latitudinal imbalances (surplus in tropics, deficit at poles), and (3) heat transfer mechanisms (atmospheric and oceanic circulation) to redistribute energy.
