Answer:

The melting of the caps increases the concentration of CO2 in the water, making its absorption faster.

⊱┈────────────────────────⊰

Explanation:

<h2><u>CO2 absorption</u><u> </u></h2>

The polar caps of our planet have in their composition several elements, among them the CO2 that is absorbed by the atmosphere. Cold waters, which are present in the Arctic, have an easier time absorbing CO2 compared to other waters.

When glaciers melt, the CO2 that is present in the mixture is dissolved in the ocean, increasing its concentration. The cold waters that came from the ice caps increase the absorption of CO2.

What are the benefits and drawbacks to having a pouring temperature that is much higher than the metal’s melting temperature?

Mashcka [7]

Answer:

The main advantage would be that with the pouring temperature being much higher, there is very little chance that the metal will solidify in the mould while busy pouring. This will allow for moulds that are quite intricate to still be fully filled. The drawbacks, though, include an increased chance defects forming which relates to shrinkage (cold shots, shrinkage pores, etc). Another drawback includes entrained air being present, due to the viscosity of the metal being low because of the high pouring temperature.

Answer: D. Mutation in coding sequences are more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations in noncoding sequences.

Explanation: It was not likely to be that the coding sequences are replicated more often. The only possible explanation is that the mutations in coding is more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations because it is in a non coding sequence.
