Question

question 10 of 25 which type of energy causes the equator to be hotter than the north pole?
a. nuclear energy
b. gravitational energy
c. solar energy
d. geothermal energy

Explanation:

The equator receives more direct solar radiation (solar energy) than the North Pole. Nuclear energy is related to atomic reactions, gravitational energy to gravity, and geothermal energy to Earth's internal heat—none of these explain the temperature difference between the equator and North Pole due to solar heating.

Answer:

C. Solar energy
