Which of the following statements explains one way that oceans influence the temperature of the tropics and poles?
The oceans help to keep the tropics warm by bringing more rain to the tropics.
The oceans redistribute the uneven heating of the Sun. The tropics receive more direct heat than the poles, but the oceans absorb heat and take it to other parts of the globe.
The oceans do not influence the temperature of the tropics and the poles.
The oceans distribute the even heating of the Sun. The tropics receive equal heat as the poles and the oceans keep the heat in place.
