Which of these statements provides evidence to the fact that oceans influence climate by transporting water from one place to another? Answer Cold ocean water off the east coast of Florida brings rain in coastal California. Warm ocean water off the east coast of Florida affects the climate of Europe. Cold ocean water off the east coast of Florida brings snow in the north pole. Warm ocean water off the east coast of Florida affects the climate at the northern tip of Africa.
If you also explain what you don't understand about the question as well as posting the question itslf, it makes it much easier for us to help you understand it. And understand the answer. I think the answer is the second option. Water off the coast of Florida is going to be warm (so that eliminates two possibilities) and has been associated with maintaining temperate climates in Europe. In climatology, it is easy to identify associated phenomena like ocean currents, pressure and temperature oscillations, etc - but very, very difficult to sort out the causal relationships between them. Everything affects everything else. So it is certainly possible that warm ocean off the coast of Florida affect North Africa as well as Europe.
