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