4 Absorbed solar radiation is greater than OLR in the tropics and sub-tropics Middle to polar latitudes net cooling Latitudinal energy gradient drives atmosphere and ocean currents Earth’s tilt and seasons

5  Convection cells  Transfer energy  Regulate climate

6  Northern hemisphere objects in flight move to the right  Coriolis Effect in different hemispheres. Coriolis Effect different hemispheres.
