The ocean currents allow the oceans to ________ year after year.

A Become warmer
B Become colder
C Maintain the same temperature
D Increase salinity

Correct Answer: Maintain the same temperature

The ocean currents allow the oceans to Maintain the same temperature year after year. Ocean currents are similar to winds in the atmosphere in that they transfer significant amounts of heat from Earth’s equatorial areas to the poles and thus play important roles in determining the climates of coastal regions. In addition, ocean currents and atmospheric circulation influence one another.
