The Ocean currents transfer heat from ________

A. One sea or ocean to another

B. One coast to another

C. The surface of the sea to greater depths

D. Lower to higher latitudes

Answer: Option D

Solution(By Examveda Team)

The ocean currents and winds transport the heat from the lower latitudes near the equator to higher latitudes near the poles. The transfer of heat energy within the atmosphere, hydrosphere, and the Earth's surface and interior occurs as a result of radiation, convection, and conduction. Ocean currents play a significant role in transferring this heat toward the poles.
