Correct answers:
- transparency to electromagnetic radiation
- a high specific heat capacity compared to land or air
- large surface area
Briefly: transparency lets sunlight penetrate and heat a volume of water, high specific heat means water stores lots of heat with little temperature change, and the ocean's large area receives more incoming solar energy.
