Which qualities of the ocean help it to absorb heat? Select the three correct answers.(2 points) Responses large surface area large surface area a low evaporation point a low evaporation point a high specific heat capacity compared to land or air a high specific heat capacity compared to land or air transparency to electromagnetic radiation transparency to electromagnetic radiation proximity to land proximity to land Water can be a solid, liquid, or gas at Earth's surface.
The three correct answers are:
1. Large surface area: The large surface area of the ocean allows for greater exposure to sunlight and therefore more heat absorption.
2. High specific heat capacity compared to land or air: Water has a higher specific heat capacity, meaning it can absorb and store more heat energy compared to land or air.
3. Transparency to electromagnetic radiation: Water is transparent to solar radiation, allowing it to reach deeper into the ocean and be absorbed by the water.
