i’m torn between a and b. i’ve asked many and people say a, but i asked my science teacher and she said b. and also i’ve researched and on answers. com also says water is the better insulator..but idk i’m conflicted! apex

(science)study the following ocean currents map. an ocean currents map is shown. on the map the locations for san diego, california and savannah, georgia are marked. there is a looping current from the north past san diego and a looping current from the south near savannah which statement is most likely correct about the average temperatures in san diego, california as compared to savannah, georgia? it is higher in savannah because of the cool ocean currents from the south. it is higher in savannah because of the warm ocean currents from the north. it is lower in san diego because of the warm ocean currents from the south. it is lower in san diego because of the cool ocean currents from the north.

Water is siphoned from a large tank and discharges into the atmosphere through a 50-mm diameter tube. the end of the tube is b = 2.1 m below the tank bottom which is a = 7.4 m deep, and viscous effects are negligible. determine the maximum height h over which the water can be siphoned without cavitation occurring. atmospheric pressure is 101.4 kpa, and the water vapor pressure is 1.79 kpa (absolute)
