Question

what natural phenomenon might have caused increased amounts of floating ice in the north atlantic around the time of the titanics sinking?
a super refraction
b record tides
c optical illusions
d high winds

Explanation:

• Super - refraction is an optical phenomenon related to light bending and not directly related to floating ice amounts.
• Optical illusions are also about visual perception and not about ice quantity.
• High winds can break off ice from glaciers and icebergs and push them into the ocean, increasing the amount of floating ice. Record tides mainly affect water levels in coastal areas and not the amount of floating ice in the open ocean.

Answer:

D. High winds
