The location of the continent affects its surface reflectivity. Continental plate depth determines its specific heat. Continental drift absorbs large amounts of kinetic energy. The temperature of a continent is affected by its nearest ocean.
I am hesitating between 4 options to answer the following question, which option should I choose?
Question: Scientists believe continental drift over Earth's geological history has had a significant impact on Earth's cycles of warmer and cooler climates. Which statement describes a characteristic of Earth's continents that is most likely to cause changes in global climate when continents drift?
Possibilities:
- The location of the continent affects its surface reflectivity.
- Continental plate depth determines its specific heat.
- Continental drift absorbs large amounts of kinetic energy.
- The temperature of a continent is affected by its nearest ocean.
