Answer:

Challenger

Explanation:

The challenger was a ship used to explore the seas and took a very long journey between 1872-1876. Before the expedition, the ship was transformed into a set of laboratories of chemistry and natural history. She traveled nearly 70,000 nm (nautical miles) or 130,000 km.

All this scientific exersice that made a lot of discoveries (investigating physical and chemical conditions under seas accross the globe) were the foundations of what we know today as Oceanography.

Warm surface waters get depleted of nutrients and carbon dioxide, but they enrich again as they travel through ________ waters i
Nonamiya [84]

Answer: Option B. "Deep"

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation helps to drive the global conveyor belt, which is a global-scale system of currents. Due to the movement of ocean currents through different polar regions, it allows depletion of nutrients and carbon dioxide at surface waters and get enrich again as move through deep waters in the conveyor belt.

Winds in the ocean helps to  drive ocean currents in the upper ocean’s surface and these ocean currents moves below the ocean surface as well. the process that controls the movement of ocean current deep in the ocean is called Thermohaline circulation that  is based on differences in the water’s density,  and controlled by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline).

Thermohaline circulation forms in the polar regions of Earth. Ocean water in the polar region gets colds that allows the formation of sea ice, which in turn make the surrounding seawater saltier and increases the ice density and sinks. This allows the deep-ocean currents to drive the Global conveyer belt.

The conveyor belt starts from the surface of North Atlantic pole, where seawater become saltier and ice starts sinking.  This deep water heads south along the western Atlantic basin. The conveyor belt get recharged as it travels along the coast of Antarctica and carries more cold, salty, dense water. The current get divided into two different sections, one traveling to the Indian Ocean and the other moves into the Pacific Ocean. The two sections of the current get warm and rises, as they travel northward, then turn back around  westward and southward.

The warmed surface waters continue to circulate around the globe and follows depletion of nutrients and carbon dioxide. But they get enrich again when they travel through deep waters all around the the  Global conveyer belt.

Hence, the correct answer is option is B "Deep".

After the egg is fertilized what does the ovary grow into
vfiekz [6]
<span>As the pollen tube penetrates the ovule, it releases two sperm cells. As in gymnosperms, the ovule becomes a seed, encasing the embryo and endosperm in a seed coat. But unlike gymnosperms, in angiosperms the ovary containing the ovules develops into a fruit after fertilization.</span>

Distinguish between directional, stabilizing, and disruptive selection. Give examples.
Pepsi [2]
Distribution of phenotypes within a population may be impacted by different types of natural selection. These types of selection include;
Directional selection involves a change in the environment shifts of phenotypes observed. Example is the giraffe neck-length, where the length got longer and longer over time to reach the leaves at the top of trees.
Stabilizing selection , this is a selection where an average phenotype is favored. example is number of eggs laid by birds such that too many eggs will be a waste of energy because some chicks would starve.
Disruptive selection is a selection where individuals with an average value of a trait are affected most while those with values below average are affected least. Example small individuals are capable of hiding from predators while big individuals can not fit in the hiding place but instead will fight with predators.
