Why is physics used to study the heat absorbed by the ocean? A. The ocean is important.
B. Heat is a form of energy.
C. The Sun gives off heat.
D. Physicists mostly study the ocean.

B

Explanation:

It absorbs gases, but also heat energy from the atmosphere, distributes them in its depths and thus slows down changes in the entire Earth system. The amount of energy absorbed by the ocean is therefore also an indication of the total heat absorbed by the planet.

the answer is false. this is because for ice to melt, it requires latent heat of melting. latent heat means heat energy required to change phase without any increase in temperatures. therefore, the ice will take energy from the environment to melt hence atmospheric temperatures will reduce.
