Question

Why do coastal areas with warm ocean currents generally experience a milder climate?

• A. Warm currents increase the atmospheric pressure, reducing temperature fluctuations
• B. Warm ocean currents help maintain stable temperatures by transferring heat to the atmosphere
• C. The Coriolis effect deflects warm currents, creating a warming effect
• D. Relief features prevent cold winds from reaching these areas

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Warm ocean currents help maintain stable temperatures by transferring heat to the atmosphere

• Ocean currents regulate coastal temperatures by transferring heat to the air, preventing extreme temperature variations.
