Which statement best describes how the temperature of the oceans surface water varies

areas with high density have the warmest water
areas at high latitudes have the coldest water
areas close to the poles have the warmest water
areas with low salinity have the coldest water

areas at high latitudes have the coldest water

The top layer of the ocean water is called as surface layer. The temperature of the surface water varies mainly with the latitude. The high latitude like Polar Seas remains cool hence, the water is cold, whereas the low latitude like Persian Gulf remains warm, hence, the water remains warm.

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.
