What causes ocean water near the poles to be colder than ocean water near the equator?
A. The water is denser and saltier near the equator, so it holds more
heat.
B. Deep-sea vents pump steam into the ocean's conveyor belt near
the equator
C. Because of Earth's rotation, gyres near the poles flow clockwise.
D. The sun's rays strike the water at an angle at the poles.

Equator is closer to the sun, making it warmer there.

measuring physical properties lab reportinstructions: in the physical properties lab, you will test the physical properties of different building materials in order to pick the appropriate materials for a new home in tiny world. record your observations and test measurements in the lab report below. youwill submit your completed report.name and title: lyric lawton, mr.herbert, 10/13/17, physical properties lab. objective(s): i need to parvus build his house out of the right material, so he will stay cool in the mountains.hypothesis: if we use wood to build the roof of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler.if we use clay brick to build the walls and floors of the house, then the temperature inside the house will remain cooler.if we use aluminium to bring electricity into the home, then it will allow electricity to flow into the home at a faster rate.if we use iron to construct the latches on the windows and doors, then the magnetism will keep the latches secure.
