3. How do ocean temperatures affect climate?

English
1 answer:
Korvikt [17]2 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

The ocean covers about 70% of Earth’s surface. So, it’s not surprising that it plays a large part in Earth’s environment. As Earth warms, water in the ocean soaks up energy (heat) and distributes it more evenly across the planet. The ocean also absorbs carbon dioxide from Earth’s atmosphere. The additional heat and carbon dioxide in the ocean can change the environment for the many plants and animals that live there. Earth’s climate is warming due to human activities. As Earth experiences a warming climate, we experience hotter air temperatures. The ocean does an excellent job of absorbing the extra heat from the atmosphere, delaying the full impact of global warming. The top few meters of the ocean store as much heat as Earth's entire atmosphere. So, as the planet warms, it's the ocean that gets most of the extra energy. More than 90% of the global warming is going into the ocean. But if the ocean gets too warm, then the plants and animals that live there can get sick or even die.

Have a great day! :D

belka [17]

Answer:

Ovid  foreshadows the fall of Icarus in the story Deadalus and Icarus by Elaina Curtis when Deadalus warned His son Icarus not to fly too high and not to fly too low.

Explanation:

Deadalus said to His son "Let me warn you, Icarus, to take the middle way, in case the moisture weighs down your wings, if you fly too low, or if you fly too high, the sun schorches them. Travel between the extremes. And i order you not to aim towards Bootes, the Herdsman or Helice, the Great Bear or towards the drawn Sword or Orion: take the course i show you".

The above statement by Deadalus is a good example of foreshadowing. Foresadowing lets Readers predict what will happen next. The statement shows Deadalus warning His son Icarus not to fly to high and too low. by doing this Hints to readers that Icarius might die. The statement helps Readers predict what may happen next. from the warning the Readers can predict that although if Icarus does not die that He may get into trouble.
