Hmm.this one is complicated .many factors affect the amount of solar energy an area receives but mainly the length of the solar rays.places close to the equator are hotter because the rays are short and the travel less distance.but away from the equator the rays are longer
Answer:
B. Air moves towards the poles as it cools
Explanation:
The image represent convection cell or Hadley cell is a natural phenomenon in the atmosphere that occur due to difference in the density within a body of liquid or gas. These differences in density causes rise and fall in currents.
The process in step A refers to when hot air moves up and in the step B, the hot air encounters a cold surface, it direct exchange the heat with cold surface and the air cools down and move towards the poles.
Hence, the correct answer is "B. Air moves towards the poles as it cools".
