Hi there!

You will have already be known that the <em>sun's rays are closest to the equatorial regions</em> <em>than</em> the <em>polar regions</em>. So the stronger heat rays reach the equator first, heating it's water faster. Within the span of time when the rays reach the polar areas (poles), the sun rays become slanted, leading it into the ocean waters.

Also, the sharpness or intensity of the rays gets weakened, thereby heating the water of polar regions less.

Using this fact, we can say that the rays falling near the equator heats the water more than the rays heating the water at poles.

Hence, we can say that <u>D) </u><u>T</u><u>he sun heats earth and it ocean unevenly</u> will be your answer.

Thank you !

Answer:

Tsunami

Explanation:

  • As when a heavier oceanic or continental plate is subducted under the lighter plate the overlying plate created pressure and the lower plate experiences a force that is a type of the slab pull and slab push.
  • That leads to this the huge killer waves or the Tsunamis are created and these waves tend to be produced by the submergence and the occurrence of the earthquake and thereby the resultant volcanic eruptions also along the boundaries.
  • <u>These waves can be as high as the tallest building and cause heavy destruction and flooding in the coastal lands.</u>
