Yes, I am sure that the statement is false.
Radiation from the sun heats Earth’s surface. Due to the tilt of Earth on its axis and the shape of Earth, the sun heats Earth unevenly. Areas near the equator receive a lot more thermal energy than areas north or south of the equator. Land heats up more quickly, but water holds the energy for longer.(2 points)

The Coriolis effect causes the convection currents in the atmosphere to turn to the right in the northern hemisphere. Air dragging on the surface of the ocean water tugs on the surface waters, creating ocean currents. Ocean currents that move to higher latitudes bring warm water from near the equator to cooler regions. Ocean currents that move from polar latitudes to lower latitudes bring cooler water to warmer regions. The temperature of ocean surface waters also affects the temperature of the air above them.(2 points)
