A research team wants to monitor the effects of climate change on the ocean. Which of the following devices will the team MOST likely place on ships to gather this kind of data?
A. an ROV because it measures conductivity, temperature, and depth
B. an ROV because it measures the resistance to changes in temperature
C. a CTD because it measures conductivity, temperature, and depth
D. a CTD because it measures the resistance to changes in temperature
C. a CTD because it measures conductivity, temperature, and depth
CTD stands for conductivity, temperature, and depth, making it the most suitable device for monitoring the effects of climate change on the ocean as it provides essential data related to temperature and other environmental factors in the water.
