Which of the following drives global thermohaline (conveyor belt) circulation?

Chemistry

changes in density

Explanation:

The global thermohaline (conveyor belt) circulation is caused by changes in global ocean density.

The ocean water density is determined by the temperature and salt content of the ocean (thermo - heat and haline - salt).

  • Surface current drives warm and less water away for the equator towards the poles.
  • At the poles they become cold  and very dense sinking to the bottom and moving towards the equator back.
  • It is also called the ocean conveyor belt

Can someone please help me with this asap <br><br>what is the value of d<br>​
Stella [2.4K]

The value of "d" is 80°

Explanation:

Cyclic quadrilaterals are the special group of quadrilaterals with all its base lying on the circumference of the circle. In other words, a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle is called a cyclic quadrilateral.

Cyclic quadrilateral are characterised by some special features such as

  • Sum of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral is always a supplementary angle.
  • If one of the sides of a cyclic quadrilateral is produced, then the exterior angle so formed is always double of the corresponding interior angle.  

Using the property 1  

We find that since the quadrilateral is cyclic, opposite pairs must be supplementary

100° +∠D must be equal to 180°  

D=180° -100° =80°

Which substance has two neutrons?<br><br> A. H-2<br><br> B. He-2<br><br> C. He-3<br><br> D. He-4
Feliz [49]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

In a Helium (He) atom, the atomic structure of the atom has 2 protons, 2 electrons and 2 neutrons. For an element X to be a Helium (He) atom, it must possess 2 protons. The number of neutrons present will determine its stability either if its probably radioactive or a natural occurring inert gas.

In option 1,

We have H-2. The symbol "H" is used to denote the element hydrogen in the periodic table and hydrogen has only 1 protons and 1 neutron making its mass number 2.

Option 2,

He -2 : here in this option, we have a helium atom, but with mass number of 2 only. Judging from the formula of mass number = protons + neutrons, we already have proton as 2, hence the number of neutrons there is zero (0)

Option 3,

He - 3 : just like in option 2, the only difference here is that the mass number is 3 hence making the number of neutrons just 1.

Option 4,

He - 4 : This option met the requirements of having 2 protons and 2 neutrons making a total of 4 which corresponds to the mass number.

Nistu is cooking rice in a pot. When she leaves the pot on the stove for a while, the temperature of the rice increases. What ha
Mila [183]

Answer:

Their average kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of the rice molecules increases as the pot is left on the cooking stove.

Heat is transferred to the pot by conduction from the heat source. The heat is then transferred to the rice in the cooking pot by convection.

  • As the water in the pot heats up.
  • The rice gains thermal energy.
  • This causes the molecules of the rice particles to start vibrating.
  • As the molecules vibrate about their fixed position, their thermal energy continues to increase.
  • Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed by the rice increases with time and this actually cooks the food.
