PLS HELPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!111!!

Weather and climate are affected by ocean currents because they
A. are caused by Earth’s rotation.
B. cause upwellings along certain coastlines.
C. move large volumes of water vertically in the deep ocean.

Answer 1

I believe it’s a because it’s the only one that makes sense to me lol

Answer 2

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. What causes currents in the ocean.

• Winds, water density, and tides all drive ocean currents. Coastal and sea floor features influence their location, direction, and speed. Earth's rotation results in the Coriolis effect which also influences ocean currents.

Ocean currents act as conveyer belts of warm and cold water, sending heat toward the polar regions and helping tropical areas cool off, thus influencing both weather and climate.The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area.
