Question

Heat energy is transferred through solids, liquids, and gases. How is heat transferred throughout the world’s oceans?

A) The warmed atmosphere transfers energy as heat to the rivers and the energy is distributed by conduction to oceans.
B) Sunlight penetrates the ocean’s waters, evenly distributing energy as heat from the surface to the ocean floor.
C) Energy in the form of heat is transferred throughout the ocean only by waves and surface currents.
D) Convection currents are driven by sunlight warming surface waters, which flow throughout the oceans, distributing energy as heat.

Answer 1

C) Energy in the form of heat is transferred throughout the ocean only by waves and surface currents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Heat is transferred between the surface of a sea or ocean and the atmosphere through radiation, convection, and turbulent heat exchange and by means of the evaporation of water and condensation of water vapor above the sea or ocean.

If it's not C then my best guess would be D. This one is kind of tricky!!

Hope this helped!!!
