What 2 processes transport Earths energy surpluses poleward from the tropics?

Wind and water. Air currents (wind) carry heat poleward. This is mainly heat transfer by convection. Water currents carry heat poleward. This is heat transfer by convection and conduction.

Which of the following are the major ways that heat energy is transferred through earth system?

ConvectionHeat energy is transferred primarily by air movements, storms, and ocean currents. Since the earth is heated unevenly, the energy is redistributed. Air movements, otherwise called wind, are one important mechanism. Storms, which contain water vapor and water, also transfer heat. When water turns to water vapor it absorbs heat and when water vapor condenses to water, heat is released. Therefore, storms are important movers of heat. Ocean currents also transfer heat as cold currents move to warmer areas and warm currents move to colder areas.air movements, storms, and ocean currents


What do mid-ocean ridges transfer heat energy from?

Mid-ocean ridges transfer energy from the mantle/asthenosphere/lithosphere to the surface. The energy is from the deep Earth.
