Question

Which of the following accurately describes the thermocline profile along the equator?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. The equator is susceptible to extreme storms so the thermocline changes significantly throughout the year.

Explanation:

Storms occurs on that locations where there is high temperature and high temperature is only present at the equator due to direct sunlight. So we can say that maximum storms comes at and near the regions of equator. The oceans present near the equator have a warm layer known as thermocline from where water is evaporated and the intensity of storms are also increases.
