Solution

The statement that is not true is "oceans are heated at the MOR". MOR stands for Mid-Ocean Ridge, which is a seafloor mountain system formed by plate tectonics. It is not a primary source of heat for the oceans. The primary source of heat for the oceans is solar radiation, which is absorbed at the surface of the ocean. This heat is then distributed around the oceans by currents.
