Question
Select the FALSE statement.
The oceans hold 97% of all liquid water on the Earth.
Ninety percent of the earth’s biomass is found in the oceans.
The oceans play a major role in moderating Earth’s climate
Ocean currents polarize the climate and redistribute cold water around the Earth and therefore make the climate much colder than it would normally be if there were no ocean currents. The oceans do not redistribute heat; that comes from the sun.

Explanation / Answer
FALSE Ocean currents polarize the climate and redistribute cold water around the Earth and therefore make the climate much colder than it would normally be if there were no ocean currents. The oceans do not redistribute heat; that comes from the sun
The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation

TRUE statements
About 71 percent of the Earth's surface is water-covered, and the oceans hold about 96.5 percent of all Earth's water
The ocean plays an important role in shaping our climate and weather patterns.
