← GeographyWhich mechanism regulates global temperatures via ocean currents?
A)Thermohaline circulation heat distribution✓
B)Ekman transport coastal upwelling
C)Coriolis Effect atmospheric stabilization
D)Tidal forces shoreline erosion
💡 Explanation
Thermohaline circulation distributes heat from the equator to higher latitudes, because density differences drive a global conveyor belt, therefore the water's temperature regulation effects rather than just wind driven motion through Ekman transport do the work.
