Ice concentration is measured in tenths. What concentration range of ice corresponds to "Close Pack"?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) 7 - 8 tenths.
According to the international standards for sea ice concentration, "Close Pack" ice refers to a concentration range of 7 to 8 tenths of the total area covered by ice. This is the correct answer based on the standard definitions used for ice concentration measurements.
The other options are incorrect because: B) 9 - 10 tenths corresponds to "Compact" ice, C) 1 - 3 tenths corresponds to "Open Drift" ice, and D) 4 - 6 tenths corresponds to "Open Pack" ice. The "Close Pack" range is specifically defined as 7 - 8 tenths of ice concentration.
