A map of sea surface temperatures is provided. The patterns that are observed are due to the fact that
the earth is wider at the equator, so this area spins faster than the poles.
the equator receives more of the Sun's radiation than other parts of the Earth.
the salt content is greater at the poles than at the equator.
the warm, less dense water near the equator sinks, while the colder water rises.
Which of the following statements is supported by the map of the ocean currents?
Warm ocean currents bring cooler temperatures to the west coast of South Africa.
Warm ocean currents bring warmer temperatures to the west coast of South America.
Warm ocean currents bring warmer temperatures to the west coast of the United States.
Cool ocean currents bring cooler temperatures to the west coast of the United States.
