Global climate and weather patterns are driven by differences in the amount of heat energy in different areas of the Earth. Which statement best explains why different areas of the Earth have different amounts of heat energy?

The given question is incomplete as the options are missing. The options of the given question are as follows-

(A) The solar radiation from the Sun is equally distributed across the Earth at all times.

(B) The gravitational energy from the Sun varies greatly in different regions of the Earth.

(C) The Earth spins at different rates so the rotational energy of the Earth varies.

(D) The Earth receives different amounts of solar energy in different regions.

Option (D)

Explanation:

The earth receives uneven incoming solar radiation at different places, as a result of which some places are heated more extensively and some places are comparatively less cold. Due to this difference in temperature, along with the changing pressure conditions, and Coriolis effect, there occurs different climatic and weather patterns at different places.

The equatorial region receives the maximum amount of sunlight so, the temperature in this region remains comparatively higher throughout the year, and the polar regions are much colder. It is because the sun is directly incident on this layer.

So, there occurs a contrasting climate pattern globally that causes various changes on the surface of the earth.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).

the main thing i would use is bricks because if there is a hurricane, there is a great possibility for the house to still stand. and i would also use plexiglass windows instead of regular windows because plexiglass isn't prone to breaking.
