Question

what is one important role that ocean waters have in heating earth?
○ absorb and transport solar energy
○ transport nutrients and waste
○ create and emit solar energy
○ wear away rock and soil

Explanation:

Oceans absorb solar radiation at the surface, then ocean currents move this heat around the globe, distributing warmth to different regions of Earth. The other options do not relate to heating Earth: transporting nutrients/waste is an ecological role, oceans cannot create solar energy, and wearing away rock/soil is erosion.

Answer:

absorb and transport solar energy
