If the ocean water is warmer than the air above it, will thermal energy be transferred from the water to the air, and will the temperature of the air increase?
- The ocean water will transfer thermal energy to the air, but that will not affect the temperature of the air.
- The ocean water will transfer thermal energy to the air, which will increase the temperature of the air.
- The ocean water will increase the temperature of the air, but it will not transfer thermal energy to the air.
- The ocean water will not transfer thermal energy to the air, and it will not increase the temperature of the air.
