Describe the causes and consequences of the uneven distribution of insolation
What will be an ideal response?
Due to Earth's curved surface, lower latitudes receive more concentrated direct insolation, while higher latitudes receive less concentrated, more diffuse insolation. This latitudinal imbalance in energy drives global circulation in the atmosphere and oceans.
