Problem 1: Other than radiation, what physical process (or processes) is responsible for the vertical heat transport on the observed Earth between the surface and troposphere?
Problem 2: Under the influence of radiation alone (i.e., without heat transport by the atmosphere or ocean), the tropics on Earth would be __________ than in the present-day climate, and the Polar Regions would be ___________.
- warmer, warmer
- warmer, cooler
- cooler, warmer
- cooler, cooler
Problem 3: What physical process (or processes) is responsible for the horizontal heat transport on the observed Earth between the tropics and polar regions?
