Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Ammonia is the only substance to have a higher heat capacity than water. Water's high heat capacity
keeps the ocean at a relatively stable temperature range. Information can be found in the section Water
Has Unusual Thermal Characteristics.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The pycnocline layer protects deep water from surface circulation. There can be multiple density
layers in the deep zone, but these are not affected by the surface conditions. Information can be found
in the section The Ocean Is Stratified by Density
