Question

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Consider the following statements:
1. At low latitudes, enclosed seas have higher temperatures.
2. Red Sea has a higher temperature than expected. 


Which of the above is/are correct?

• A. 1 only
• B. 2 only
• C. Both 1 and 2
• D. Neither 1 and 2

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both 1 and 2

<!--td {border: 1px solid #ccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> The enclosed seas in the low latitudes record relatively higher temperature than the open seas. The enclosed seas in the high latitudes have lower temperature than the open seas.
Very high surface temperatures and high salinities make Red Sea one of the warmest and saltiest bodies of seawater in the world.
