Identify the ways in which a rooftop garden can reduce the heat absorbed, compared to an asphalt roof. Select the three correct answers.(2 points)
Unlike asphalt, soil is not black.
Soil holds water that would have run off the roof.
The soil is heavier than the asphalt.
The paler color reflects more light.
Plants release water vapor.
The surface is rougher and more varied than the asphalt.
Which statement about ocean surface currents is false?(1 point)
They flow in large gyres in the major ocean basins.
They have no effect on air temperature over land on the coast.
They influence the climate and weather of areas along the coast.
They move heat and water between equatorial regions and polar regions.
Which provides the most direct source of energy for a hurricane?(1 point)
heating of the air by the sun
