Question

studies show that the amount of heat stored in the ocean is increasing. what effect might this have? a. the water cycle might disappear. b. gyres might change direction. c. low tides might disappear. d. ocean currents might change course.

Answer 1

Apex. Ocean currents might change course.

Answer 2

Answer;

D. ocean currents might change course.

Step-by-step explanation;

Ocean currents are the directed movements of water in the ocean and can be caused by wind (for currents closer to the surface) and temperature, salinity, or density differences (currents deeper in the ocean). Ocean currents help to warm or cool certain parts of the earth by carrying warmer water northward or cooler water toward the equator.

Climate change can have a vast effect on ocean currents because of the change in temperature it causes, which results in change in ocean water temperatures and a subsequent distortion in current flow.
