Why do orcas like cold water?

Geography
1 answer:
malfutka [58]1 year ago
3 0

Orcas prefer cold water because it allows them to travel more swiftly than their ectothermic prey, which can slow down in colder water.

Although they may be located in warmer seas near the equator as opposed to arctic waters, these species appear to favor colder temperatures. Along with living in waters deep in the open ocean, orcas may also venture into semi-enclosed oceans, river mouths, and ice-covered regions.

Marine animals with warm blood, such as whales, can withstand frigid water temperatures. When whales descend to chilly depths and travel to frigid waters, such as those in Alaska, fat serves as an insulating layer to help them preserve energy and warmth.

VMariaS [17]
Isostatic rebound occurs when a load is imposed on or removed from the lithosphere. The surface tends to rise or sink as the lithosphere rises or sinks in the asthenosphere. Loads may consist of large lakes, oceans (on continental shelves during eustatic sea level rise), ice, sediment, thrust sheets, and volcanoes.

Deposition is the geological process in which sediments, soil and rocks are added to a landform or land mass. Wind, ice, water, and gravity transport previously weathered surface material, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment.

How are spring and neap tides different from regular tides? Check all that apply.
Svet_ta [14]
<h2>Answer: They are extra-high tides and extra-low tides.</h2>

Explanation:

Tides are periodic movements of the great masses of water on our planet as part of the gravitational attraction exerted by the moon and the sun on Earth.  

In this sense, there are two very special cases:  The Spring and Neap tides.

<u>Spring tides  </u>

Occur when there is a full moon or new moon, which makes the <u>tides higher.</u> During these lunar phases, the Moon, the Earth and the Sun are aligned and the gravitational attraction power is greater.  

<u>Neap tides  </u>

Occur when the moon, the earth and the sun form a right angle (90\º), being the gravity attraction on the masses of water the minimum. This happens in the crescent and wanning phases.

What conflict exists today between canadians of french ancestry and canadians of british ancestry?
True [87]
The conflict which exists today between Canadians of French ancestry and Canadians of British ancestry is that there still exists phonetic tensions, as the country is now officially bi-lingual and Quebec speaks everything in French, while the other provinces conduct mostly everything in English. There are also some French Canadian separatists, who want Quebec to be it's separate country from the rest of Canada.
