Alperio Figure 9: Angle of inclination of the sun's rays in equatorial and polar areas. Study the picture above and answer the following questions on a separate sheet. Assuming that the Earth intercepts the same amount of energy from both Rays A and B, 1. Which area would receive more energy per unit area? 2. Which would you expect to be warmer? € Focus ENG ​

Answer :

Answer:

Based on the picture provided, it seems that Rays A and B are hitting the Earth's surface at different angles due to the Earth's tilt. Let's address the questions:

1. **Which area would receive more energy per unit area?**

  - The area that receives more direct sunlight per unit area would receive more energy. In this case, Ray A appears to hit the equatorial area more directly, while Ray B hits the polar area at an angle. Therefore, the equatorial area would receive more energy per unit area.

2. **Which would you expect to be warmer?**

  - The area that receives more energy per unit area would generally be warmer. Since the equatorial area receives more direct sunlight (as determined in the first question), it would be expected to be warmer compared to the polar area.

So, in summary:

1. Equatorial area would receive more energy per unit area.

2. Equatorial area would be expected to be warmer.
