Article assignment 2 – Due 4/22 at the beginning of class. According to thermodynamics, all objects in contact with each other will come to thermal equilibrium. This means they will have the same temperature. The ocean covers 71% of the Earth and is one large continuous body of water. How is it then that some of the ocean has icebergs, whereas other parts of the ocean would melt ice if you put it in there? Evidence of this can be seen below (from https://www.seatemperature.org/ ) Read the short articles below, then answer the questions. https://oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/facts/temp-vary.html https://sciencing.com/happens-temperature-ice-melts-8432055.html https://wtamu.edu/~cbaird/sq/2013/04/29/why-dont-the-oceans-freeze/ 1.
