What is the relationship between an area's geography and the temperature of its surface water? a. Areas at high latitude have th
e warmest water because their days are longest b. Areas at high latitude have the warmest water because they have the longest seasons c. Areas at low latitude have the warmest water because they receive the most direct sunlight d. Areas at low latitude have the warmest water because they have the least change in temperature throughout the year
The correct answer is: c. Areas at low latitudes have the warmest water because they receive the most direct sunlight.
The warmest surface waters can be found in and around the Equator. The reason for that is that this parts of the world receive the most direct sunlight, with the sunlight falling at an angle of 90° or close to it. Because the sunlight is more concentrated, these areas are much warmer than the rest of the planet, having high temperatures throughout all of the year, where there isn't change of seasons, or its only dry and wet season (but the wet one is also warm). As everything else, the water too is warmer in these ares because of the more direct sunlight, and these are the ares where the warm ocean currents actually start.
The answer would be C. Areas and low latitude have the woman’s water because they have the least change in temperature throughout the year. I really hope I could help you with this good luck.
In case, the major ocean currents stops or slows down, the heat distribution on the Earth will be affected in the following ways:
There would be quite significant climatic changes.
It affects one of the major phenomena in the ocean , the thermohaline circulation of the ocean which is responsible for the supply of heat to the polar areas.
Heat distribution is affected in such a way that keeps the warm water of the equatorial region remains in the same region and can not delivered to the polar areas.
This phenomena results in more heat in the equatorial region and colder polar areas.
