Marine scientists have collected data showing that oceans have become warmer in recent years. This increase in temperature would reflect an increase in thermal energy stored in the ocean. If true, would this validate or invalidate the Law of Conservation of Energy? Invalidate, because energy should not enter a closed system Invalidate, because the amount of energy should stay constant everywhere Validate, because the ocean is an open system that can gain and lose energy Validate, because the overall energy in the ocean does not change when thermal energy increases
