I really need this plz dont take points ill mark brainliest Transitional fossils are fossils of organisms that have characteristics of their ancestors’ species and their descendants’ species. Why do you think these fossils are important to the study of evolution? Do you think the word transitional is a scientifically appropriate description for these fossils? Knowing how fossils form, do you think it’s likely that humans will ever piece together a complete fossil record for every species that ever existed on Earth? Why or why not?

answer: option (4) is the correct answer.

explanation:

areas which are at low altitudes and near the equator tend to receive direct sunlight from the sun. hence, heat energy or radiations from the sun make these areas warmer and they have warmest water.

whereas areas which are at high altitudes and away from the equator do no receive direct sunlight. hence, no direct contact from the sun makes these regions colder and thus, they have colder water.

thus, we can conclude that the statement areas at low latitudes near the equator have the warmest water because they receive the most direct sunlight best explains the relationship between an area's geography and the temperature of its surface water.
