Open in App
Solution
The correct options are
A Winds
B Ocean currents
C Land
Factors that impact the ocean temperatures are: latitude, distribution of land and water on earth’s surface, prevailing winds, and ocean currents.
The temperature of the ocean, especially the surface, varies from place to place and from season to season. Tropical oceans receive a lot of direct overhead sunlight for most of the year, so the water is warm. Summer is the only time polar regions receive sunlight, and even then, it is never directly overhead, so water in these places tend to be cold.
