Because of the fluctuation.

In most ocean regions, wind-driven circulation, which has been the focus of discussions so far, does not reach below the first kilometer of the oceans. The renewal of the waters below this depth is achieved by currents that are guided by differences in density produced by effects of temperature (thermals) or salinity (halinos). The associated circulation is therefore referred to as the thermohaline circulation. Since these movements are mostly quite slow, it is very unlikely to use direct current meters (current meters); they are usually estimated by the distribution of the physical properties of the water and the application of geostrophy.

The driving force of thermohaline circulation is the formation of water bodies. Water bodies with well-defined salinity and temperature characteristics are created in specific regions by surface processes; they then sink and slowly mix with other bodies of water as they move. The two main processes for the formation of water bodies are deep convection and subduction. Both are linked to the dynamics of the mixing layer on the surface of the ocean; thus, it is necessary to first discuss thermohaline aspects of the surface ocean first.

Isk of harm in social and behavioral sciences generally fall in three categories, which are:__________.

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The correct answer for: Risk of harm in social and behavioral sciences generally fall in three categories, which are: Is: 1.- Invasion of privacy. 2.- Breach of confidentiality. 3.- Study procedure.

Explanation:

First of all risk of harm in social and behavioral sciences is a very general phenomenon that is part of the interdisciplinary objects o studies because it has many causes and many perspectives to be analyzed. It is such a complex phenomenon that can be analyzed by many postures and it has so many outcomes also that there has to be an event with the isolation of events or parts to be discussed, analyzed, and solved. Thus, invasion o privacy it's a very basic form in which this phenomenon can be caused or developed. Breach confidentiality also has a very close relation with le last mentioned because the exposure of information after it's gathering will lead to scenarios in which there could be a risk the subjects of study or the researchers can make the study all into this category. Now the last want is a bit complicated because even though it can define the procedure of study it also can be the same effect by revealing this information to the public.
