what role does heat energy from the sun play in influencing ocean currents?

a) the higher rate of evaporation at the equator causes water from the poles to move toward the equator.

b) the polar ice caps melt due to the heat of the sun, causing warm currents to move toward the equator.

c) the colder temperatures at the poles causes water to freeze and expand, pushing cold currents toward the equator.

d) the warm water at the equator moves toward the poles and the cooler water from the poles moves toward the equator.
