During the summer, cool coastal breezes blow from the ocean toward the land during the day, and they blow from the land toward the ocean during the night. this shift in wind direction is due to temperature differences in the air over the land and the ocean. what specific role does the ocean play in this process?
a) the ocean retains more heat, which causes the temperature of the air above it to change drastically between day and night.
b) the ocean retains more heat, which stabilizes the temperature of the air above it.
c) the ocean retains less heat, which causes the temperature of the air above it to change drastically between day and night.
d) the ocean retains less heat, which stabilizes the temperature of the air above it.

B)The ocean retains more heat, which stabilizes the temperature of the air above it

Explanation:

That was the answer on study island :/

interphase

the period of cell growth when the cell synthesizes new molecules and organelles. the cell is not dividing and it constitutes the majority of the time spent in the cell cycle

prophase

changes occur in the nucleus and cytoplasm. the chromatin condenses to form structures (sister chromatids) visible with a light microscope and the mitotic spindle begins to form, but the nucleus is still in tact

prometaphase

the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids

metaphase

all the cell's duplicated chromosomes are lined up at an imaginary plane equidistant between the poles of the mitotic spindle

anaphase

begins when sister chromatids separate from each other and ending when a complete set of daughter chromosomes arrives at each of the two poles of the cell

telophase

the daughter nuclei form at the two poles of a cell

cytokinesis

the division of a cytoplasm to form two separate daughter cells. usually occurs during telophase during mitosis. this and mitosis make up to mitotic (m) phase of the cell cycle
