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 !

The solar wind disrupts communication systems.

The solar wind distorts Earth's magnetic field.

Answer:

The solar wind produces the northern and southern lights.

The solar wind disrupts communication systems.

The solar wind distorts Earth's magnetic field.

Solar winds are very energetic particles moving at a velocity of about 905km/s from the sun. They are made up of extremely hot particles from the outer atmosphere the sun called the corona. These particles consists of electrons, protons, plasma flowing outward into the solar space from the sun.

Due to their nature, they are know to produce the northern and southern light known as aurora when they come in contact with the earth atmosphere.

Solar winds disrupts radiowaves which are known as the facilitators of communication systems.

They also disrupt the magnetic field of the earth. These jets streams can interact with the earth magnetic field.
