Which of the following factors affecting the distribution of temperature of the ocean water is INCORRECT?
1
Warm ocean currents raise the temperature in cold ocean areas, while the cold currents decrease the temperature in warm ocean areas.
2
The temperature of surface water decreases from the equator towards the poles.
3
The winds blowing from the land towards the oceans drive warm surface water away from the coast.
4
The oceans in the northern hemisphere receive less heat due to their contact with lesser extent of land than the oceans in the southern hemisphere.
