Question

How is the heat budget of the Earth maintained?

• A. With the balance of solar radiation between advection and conduction.
• B. With balance of solar radiation between insolation and terrestrial radiation.
• C. With the balance of solar radiation between advection and insolation.
• D. With the balance of solar radiation between convection and conduction.

Answer 1

The correct option is B With balance of solar radiation between insolation and terrestrial radiation.

All the solar energy that came to Earth goes back as well. This balance of solar radiation between insolation and terrestrial radiation is called the heat budget of the Earth.
