What is the impact of the redistribution of nutrients by ocean currents?
Group of answer choices

The redistribution of nutrients supports marine life in different regions.

The redistribution of nutrients increases the ocean’s temperature.

How do surface currents contribute to the Earth's climate?
Group of answer choices

Surface currents supply cold water to tropical regions.

Surface currents prevent the formation of ice at the poles.

Surface currents redistribute heat from the Equator toward the poles.

Surface currents create high waves that increase evaporation.

Group of answer choices

ocean basin shape

the Moon and Sun’s gravitational pull

the Coriolis effect

wind patterns

Flag question: Question 5
Question 51 pts
How does the Coriolis effect primarily impact ocean currents?
Group of answer choices

The Coriolis effect makes currents flow in a straight line.

The Coriolis effect increases the speed of ocean currents globally.

The Coriolis effect stops the movement of currents near the Equator.

The Coriolis effect directs currents to the right or left.
