Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The pycnocline zone has a direct relationship between density and depth. This means as the depth
increases in the water column, the density also increases. This is mainly the effect of rapidly
decreasing water temperatures. Information can be found in the section The Ocean Is Stratified by
Density.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Water has high thermal inertia. It resists large changes in temperature despite the addition or removal
of large amounts of heat energy. Information can be found in the section Surface Water Moderates
Global Temperature.
