1. The earth’s heat imbalance is due to a heat surplus and a heat deficit. The tropical regions receive more heat energy from the sun when compared to the Polar Regions due to factors such as distance from the sun, atmospheric depletion, unit surface area and angle of strike. 2. This heat imbalance may be transferred across the earth in order to try and stabalise this imbalance. This is done by ocean currents and winds. Warm ocean currents transfer warm water from warm, tropical regions to cold Polar

(7 pts) 2. The Anza-Borrego desert is at 33°N of the equator. In terms of global influences, why do we find a desert there? - There is a desert 33°N of the equator because air expands and rises at the equator and moves towards the poles high in the troposphere. Due to this, this creates low pressure at the surface near the equator. Since the desert is 33°N of the equator, the air moving from the poles up creates high pressure at the surface. Through the high pressure, air flows back towards the
