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 !

Lorico [155]
In Earth's climate system, positive feedback's tend to amplify changes in the system, and negative feedback's tend to encourage the system against change. Having a positive feedback gives the newest updates and brings the problems on the table, thus changes are always a must when there's proof that suggest there's big problem, but when the feedback is negative, lacking, then there's not pressure for changes, so anyone who has interest in not changing will push for that, thus encouragement of taking no changes. <span />

There were more similarities than differences as both of them were members of military class, whose main obligation was to serve the ruler. They were both included in a system known to us as feudal system.
