The open ocean is more productive in the polar zones than in the equator due to less disturbance to the organisms.
<h3>Why is the open ocean more productive in the polar zones than in the equator?</h3>
In the open seas, heavy winds and deep waters lead to a high turnover in the water column that prevents photosynthetic microorganisms from converting sunlight into energy while on the other hand, there is less disturbance on the polar zones which leads to higher productivity.
So we can conclude that the open ocean is more productive in the polar zones than in the equator due to less disturbance to the organisms.

The cooling load of a house will increase if a large wall of unshaded windows is placed facing the <u>west</u>.
<h3>Why would the cooling load increase?</h3>
Due to the Earth's rotation, the sun will always rise in the east regardless of where you are. When the sun rises, it isn't as hot in the morning and only gets hot as the day progresses.
This means that the sun is hotter towards the western side of any area. Placing an unshaded window facing the west lets in more sun when it is hotter so the cooling load will increase.
