Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

Differences in temperature and salinity produce density differences, leading to the thermohaline circulation. These currents flow at slower rates than surface circulation, but hauls great volumes of water. Ocean surface waters undergo freshening in the polar regions because water releases salt when frozen and is, therefore, salt free when it melts. This ocean freshening is being accelerated by climate change.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
