Question

question 1. analyze the potential consequences of the oceans changing ability to absorb heat on global weather patterns. which of the following best describes a likely outcome? a. global temperatures will decrease b. extreme weather events will become less frequent c. shifts in precipitation patterns may occur d. ocean currents will become more stable

Explanation:

The ocean's heat - absorbing ability affects global weather. If it changes, precipitation patterns are likely to shift as heat distribution impacts evaporation and condensation processes. Global temperatures are more likely to increase if the ocean absorbs less heat. Extreme weather events may become more frequent. Ocean currents are likely to be disrupted rather than become more stable.

Answer:

C. Shifts in precipitation patterns may occur
