The answer to this is probably their ability to absorb heat. Oceans are great at absorbing heat from the sun and storing it. If they were bad at it, the heat would be trapped due to the greenhouse effect and the climate would become scorching hot. This way, oceans absorb large amounts of heat and effectively reduce the overall temperature of the world.

use an example to explain how timing of reproduction in plants and animals is tied to energy availability
alisha [4.7K]

All animals and plants have evolved to time the periods of their reproduction in accordance to the available resources, or rather they are more abundant and easier to get.

Explanation:

As examples we can take the apricot tree, as a plant, and the lynx, as an animal.

The apricot tree starts the process of reproduction when the temperatures are higher and when there is more sunlight. This usually starts from the beginning or middle of March. The reason as to why the apricot starts the reproduction during this period is because the warmer weather enables the bees to come out and pollinate it, while the sunlight is crucial because as a plant the apricot uses it for the process of photosynthesis.

The lynx is member of the cat family. It is a predator so it has timed its reproduction in accordance to the reproduction of its prey. The reason for this is that the lynx will need more food when it has cubs, so it is much easier to get more food when its prey has offspring as well as they are easy target, but also the mothers tend to be more defensive and often try to stand up to the predator which also makes them much easier targets.

How do the rates at which land and water heat up eventually cause the predictable movement of air
NNADVOKAT [17]
Land and water differ into the absorption and releasing of heat, the land heats up quicker than the water, and the land also cools off quicker than the water. So when the air is hotter over the land (during the day), then the air masses are moving from the sea to the land cause they are cooler and heavier. When the air is cooler over the land (during the night), then the air masses move from the land towards the water.
