Question

What causes ocean water around the equator to be warmer then ocean water father south of the equator

Answer 1

A. Gyres in the northern hemisphere flow clockwise.

B. Upwellings spew warm water toward the equator.

C. The sun heats earth and it’s oceans unevenly.

D. Deep sea vents pump stream into oceans unevenly.

(You didn't add the options, so I am guessing these are them.)

Step-by-step explanation:

At low latitudes, near the equator, direct overhead sunlight received all year warms surface waters. At high latitudes, ocean waters receive less sunlight – the poles receive only 40 percent of the heat that the equator does.
