Explanation:
Sea surface temperature provides fundamental information on the global climate system. ... SST is an essential parameter in weather prediction and atmospheric model simulations, and is also important for the study of marine ecosystems. SST data are especially useful for identifying the onset of El Niño and La Niña cycles
These sorts of studies can help researchers determine the relative importance of nurture and nature in determining a trait. Nature here would refer to genetics passed down to an individual from its parents, whereas nurture refers to the environment the individual is exposed to.
Such direct observational evidence is limited, however, and clouds remain the biggest source of uncertainty--apart from human choices to control greenhouse gases—in predicting how much the climate will change
The average distance is 16,000 km
Converging rate is 10 cm/year
1 km = 100,000 cm
= 16,000 × 100,000/10 cm/year
= 160,000,000 years
It will then take 160 Million years to collide.
