During the summer, cool coastal breezes blow from the ocean toward the land during the day, and they blow from the land toward the ocean during the night. this shift in wind direction is due to temperature differences in the air over the land and the ocean.

what specific role does the ocean play in this process?
a.
the ocean retains less heat, which causes the temperature of the air above it to change drastically between day and night.

b.
the ocean retains less heat, which stabilizes the temperature of the air above it.

c.
the ocean retains more heat, which stabilizes the temperature of the air above it.

d.
the ocean retains more heat, which causes the temperature of the air above it to change drastically between day and night.

C. The ocean retains more heat, which stabilizes the temperature of the air above it.

Explanation:

That was the answer on study island :/

1. (1.2kw)x(15/60hours) = .3kwh --> a

2. (5kw)x(90/60hours)x(8cents/kwh) = $0.60 --> d

3. microwave --> 1200 watts = (1.2kw)x(6/60hours) = .12kwh

coffee-maker --> 900 watts = (.9kw)x(10/60hours) = .15kwh

therefore, it requires more energy for the coffee-maker to do the same amount of work.

so the answer is a.

both male and female gametes are produced by meiosis of the germ cells. therefore, both male and female gametes are haploid. one male and one female gamete unite during the fertilization to form the diploid zygote. in seed bearing plants, pollen grain is the male gametophyte, which produces sperm cells.
