Question

Which statement about ocean surface currents is false?

Answer 1

A) they have no effect on air temperature over land on the coast is False

Explanation:

• warm and cold ocean currents can influence the coastal areas only when the air is blown into the land from the sea.
• the temperature over the land increases when warm ocean currents heat the air above the ocean.
• the temperature over the land decreases when cold ocean currents cool the air above the ocean and can bring colder winds to the coastal regions.
• so, ocean currents play a major role in regulating the air temperature over land on the coastal region.
