Meteorology B

[SirBobo]

In a test one question asks-
Oceans are a major factor in Earth's climate because they store heat and what other chemical?
A. Carbon
B. Hydrogen
C. Sodium
D. Oxygen
I think it is sodium but the answer says carbon..

Sodium is stored in oceans but carbon is a major factor in Earth's climate. I don't know how sodium affects the climate.

Carbon is the correct answer to the question as phrased, but I have a huge problem with the implication that heat is a chemical........

Front and back.

Is the eccentricity of a circle 0 or 1? I have seen conflicting answers..

...I'm not sure how that's exactly related to Meteorology, but the eccentricity of a circle is 0. The more elliptical it gets (i.e. longer and skinnier), the higher the eccentricity gets until it becomes a parabola, which has an eccentricity of 1.

Eccentricity is part of the Milankovitch Cycle, which we have to know.

Oh wow, all these tests say that the eccentricity of a perfect circle is one...

Come on test makers!!!
