The high flux of solar radiation at the tropical and subtropical ocean water is higher than .......... °C.

  • A.25
  • B.20
  • C.15
  • D.10

Answer: A

The surface water in these regions is warmer than 25 °C.

The tropical and subtropical oceans receive the highest flux of solar radiation on earth, because the sun is high in the sky throughout the year. As a result their surface waters are usually above 25 °C and in the warm pools of the western Pacific and Indian Oceans reach 28-30 °C, which is also why tropical cyclones form there.

20, 15 and 10 °C are typical of subtropical-to-temperate and cooler waters, well below tropical surface temperatures.
