Vedclass · Answer

(C) The Earth's heat balance is maintained by the distribution of energy. At latitudes near the equator,there is a surplus of heat because insolation exceeds terrestrial radiation. Conversely,at higher latitudes,there is a deficit. The transition point where the heat gain through insolation approximately equals the heat loss through terrestrial radiation occurs at approximately $40^{\circ}$ North and South latitudes.
