How does the change in ocean temperatures impact weather and life on land?


A) Warm ocean water acts as an energy sink, preventing water's evaporation into the atmosphere. This results in less precipitation.
B) As the poles and associated ice melts, the oceans get cooler, less water is evaporating into our atmosphere, resulting in prolonged drought.
C) As the poles and associated ice melts, the oceans get cooler, resulting in greater evaporation of water and therefore, larger catastrophic storms.
D) Warmer ocean temperature means more water is evaporated into the atmosphere, water that supplies the energy for hurricanes to grow and move over land.
