Answer: The correct answer is East.

I took the Earth Science 2.07: Ocean Currents Quiz and got 100% with answer East!

Explanation: Water moves 90 degrees to the right of the wind in Northern Hemisphere.

The Coriolis effect diverts this flow to the right, thereby causing a clockwise circulation.

This is called an Ekman spiral, it is when movement of water is perpendicular to the wind direction, right in the Northern Hemisphere, and left in the Southern Hemisphere.

guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b. "Alpha eventually replaced by theta".

Explanation:

Electroencephalogram (EEG) techniques allows researchers to monitor the phases of sleeping according of what brain waves are seen in the equipment. A normal adult connected to EEG will respond with alpha waves during a wakeful state. However, as the person becomes drowsy and enters to the first stage of sleep, the alpha waves will be eventually replaced by theta waves. Theta waves are the dominant waves during sleeping, and also could be seen during deep meditation.
