Answer:

a. True

Explanation:

  • The clouds that are closer to the ground surfaces are considered to be warm clouds and those that are higher above are cool and cold clouds.
  • And thus the clouds near the earth surface traps more heat and this is able to reflect back more of the energy potential.
  • The cold clouds are high above and don't tarp as much as the heat from the sun.

Why is the open ocean more productive in the polar zones than in the equator? How does
Vilka [71]

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.
