Why does the temperature in the thermocline decrease quickly with depth?

Gnoma [55]3 years ago

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.

Which of the following statements about focal adhesions is true?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:d.All of these answers are correct

Explanation:

What are focal adhesions?

Focal adhesions have multi protein structure which forms links between intracellular and extracellular matrix in cells.

They form on moving cells and they grow and mature as the cells keep moving they act as holding points when the cells are moving from one site to another to promote protrusion but supress membrane contractions. In those cells which do not move they act as anchors to keep fell morphology.

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Luis is demonstrating Object Permanence .

Explanation:

Object Permanence is a term that describes how a child understands that an object is existing even though the child can no longer see or hear it.  

Usually, infants at a certain age do get upset and cry whenever an object has been hidden from them because they are yet to attain the understanding that an object continues to exist even when they can no longer see or hear from it.

On his part, eleven-month-old Luis has reached a stage where he understands that his mom is somewhere close to him even though he can't see or hear from her.

Which of the following list only isolated systems?1.Coffee in a styrofoam cup with the lid closed, a soda bottle in the cooler a
Luba_88 [7]

A soda in a styrofoam cup with a lid, coffee in a thermos with the lid closed is the isolated systems.

<h3><u>Explanation: </u></h3>

Styrofoam cups and thermos containers are typical examples of containers that don’t allow the transfer of heat energy in their environments. A system is said to be isolated if it doesn’t allow heat exchange with its surroundings. A Styrofoam cup with a lid keeps the coffee hot due to its insulation properties.

Thermos container is a more effective insulator since it is made of double-walled container to lock either heat or cold inside. Insulators create effective isolated system depending on the materials they were made from. A completely isolated system does exist.
