Answer 2

Answer:

B. a coastal ocean system at a temperate latitude

Explanation:

    If you're in the mood for a swim in the warmest surface waters of the planet, take a plane to the region where countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, Brunei and East Timor are. There, at any time of the year you can bathe in waters that exceed 30ºC.

    If you don't want to go that far, check out the Mozambique Channel between East Africa and Madagascar Island. In this area, water also usually reaches temperatures above 27 ° C - on the southeast coast of Brazil, for example, the average temperature is 24 ° C. In both Southeast Asia and the east coast of Africa, the water is warm (+ - 25 ° C) because the sea currents that run the region travel a long distance from the west coast of the Americas.

    As much of the course rolls in the equatorial zone, the currents receive a lot of sunlight during the ride. At the end of the trip, the waters are much warmer than the rest of the planet.
