What is the role of the ocean in regulating global climate?

The ocean stores and distributes solar energy, regulating global climate by absorbing heat and carbon dioxide.

The ocean only contributes to global cooling through ice formation.

Oceans have no role in regulating global climate and are merely affected by changes in climate.

The ocean's primary role in global climate is to produce oxygen through phytoplankton photosynthesis.

What impact does melting polar ice have on global sea levels?

Melting polar ice has no effect on global sea levels.

Melting polar ice decreases global sea levels by increasing the amount of water that evaporates.

Melting polar ice contributes to the rise in global sea levels by adding water to the oceans.

Melting polar ice increases the salinity of the ocean, which decreases sea levels.

Discuss the effects of volcanic eruptions on global climate.

Volcanic eruptions have no impact on global climate

Volcanic eruptions only cause cooling effects on global climate

Volcanic eruptions always result in global warming

Volcanic eruptions can lead to short-term cooling due to sulfur dioxide and ash blocking sunlight, but can also contribute to long-term warming by releasing greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide.
