Explain what a balance of trade deficit is

This question simply requires knowledge of a definition but can be quite technical and requires the correct terminology. Specifically this is when the overall value of exports is less than the overall value of imports from and into a country. It is quite easy to mix up words and accicently define a current account deficit and this must be avoided.
