Question

question 21 of 25 research shows that ocean surface temperatures have increased significantly. which of the following is a possible consequence of rising ocean surface temperature? a. upwellings become more frequent. b. low tides disappear c. gyres change direction. d. earths rotation changes direction.

Explanation:

Rising ocean - surface temperatures can disrupt ocean circulation patterns. Upwellings are related to wind - driven circulation and thermohaline circulation changes due to temperature variations can affect them. Low tides are mainly due to gravitational forces between the Earth, moon, and sun and are not directly affected by ocean surface temperature. Gyres are large - scale ocean circulation patterns and are not typically reversed in direction solely by temperature changes. Earth's rotation is a fundamental property and is not affected by ocean surface temperature changes.

Answer:

A. Upwellings become more frequent
