Heat energy is transferred through solids, liquids, and gases. How is heat transferred throughout the world’s oceans? A) The warmed atmosphere transfers energy as heat to the rivers and the energy is distributed by conduction to oceans.
B) Sunlight penetrates the ocean’s waters, evenly distributing energy as heat from the surface to the ocean floor.
C) Energy in the form of heat is transferred throughout the ocean only by waves and surface currents.
D) Convection currents are driven by sunlight warming surface waters, which flow throughout the oceans, distributing energy as heat.
