On Earth, the land and atmosphere absorb some radiation from the Sun. However, most of this radiation is absorbed by the oceans. Which statement best describes the effect of the oceans' absorption of solar radiation on Earth? a) Solar energy absorbed by ocean water reduces the chance of strong rainstorms forming.
b ) Ocean water acts as an insulator for land environments, since water becomes more dense as it is warmed and the warm water sinks.
c) Water can store large amounts of solar energy, and the movement of ocean water transports thermal energy around the globe affecting weather and climates.
d )Absorption of solar energy by the ocean means that most organisms will live on land because the ocean is too warm to support many species.
