Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The water at the top portion of the ocean is comparatively hotter than the lower portion. It is because of the absorption of sunlight as the sunlight is directly incident on its surface. This absorbed incoming heat energy increases the temperature of the water, as a result of which it becomes less denser than the bottom cold water. It is also because of this reason, the heat energy is transferred from the hydrosphere region to the atmosphere due to the continuous interaction between the ocean and the atmosphere.

Thus, the top layer of ocean is warmest because of the high absorption of heat, where the surface warmer water are less denser than the cold bottom water.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).

How was the knowledge of ecological succession applied to the reclamation of land damaged due to mining?
Mandarinka [93]

After mining, to reclaim the land, the depression is filled with rocks then the top is filled with loosely graded soil. Introduction of early succession plants is important before big trees can grow. The early succession plants help in the breaking down of the rocks into soil hence making the topsoil deeper to support trees.
