D Correct answer

D Correct answer
Explanation

Ocean water is constantly in motion: north-south, east-west, alongshore, and vertically. Seawater motions are the result of waves, tides, and currents. Ocean movements are the consequence of many separate factors: wind, tides, Coriolis effect, water density differences, and the shape of the ocean basins.

The oceans are important because _________________.

  1. They are storehouse of water vapours

  2. Water is available for agriculture

  3. They moderate the climate of coastal regions

  4. None of these

C Correct answer
Explanation

The oceans absorb heat near the equator and then transport that solar energy to polar regions. The oceans also moderate the climate within a region. Along with coastal areas, summer temperatures are not as hot, and winter temperatures are not as cold, because water takes a long time to heat up or cool down.
