Ocean currents act as a global 'thermostat' by performing what critical function for the planet's climate?

A) Distributing heat from the equator to the poles
B) Creating seasonal wind patterns
C) Absorbing harmful UV radiation
D) Regulating the Earth's magnetic field

Correct Answer: A) Distributing heat from the equator to the poles

Ocean currents move vast amounts of warm water from the tropics near the equator towards the colder polar regions, and cold water from the poles back towards the tropics. This continuous circulation helps to distribute solar energy more evenly around the Earth.
