Question

Winds generally flow away from the equator and toward the poles. What transfer does this flow of wind cause? A. an energy transfer, with heat energy moving toward the equator B. an energy transfer, with heat energy moving away from the equator C. a water transfer, with water moving from the atmosphere to the ocean D. a water transfer, with water moving from the ocean to the atmosphere

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

The equator receives more of sunlight throughout the year, compared to increasing latitude,  hence the atmosphere and oceans within this latitude are warmer. When winds blow away from the equator, they transfer this heat energy to the cooler higher latitudes.
