Question

Correct the false statements.a) Oceans trenches can be located near the continentsb) Relief features of the oceans are like plainsc) Most salt in the seas are washed into it from the land over centruriesd) Temperature of ocean water remains the same across the globe

Answer 1

Answer:

Statement d) i.e. “Temperature of ocean water remains the same across the globe” is false.As the water molecules are spread out, the density decreases. As water body cools, it contracts and becomes denser.

Temperature and salinity both impact the density of water, resulting to move water up or down through the ocean layers and go on moving as currents all over the ocean.

That is to say, as winter approaches, the lots of stored heat from the ocean in summer, take months to dissipate, which means that the ocean temperature goes down more slowly than the temperature on land as it becomes winter.
