Ocean currents are caused by density differences in the water and move water masses through the deep ocean

Currents may also be generated by density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations. These currents move water masses through the deep ocean—taking nutrients, oxygen, and heat with them.

In the periodic table, the properties repeat in what direction?

pogonyaev

Answer:

Left to right and top to bottom

Explanation:

On the periodic table, the properties repeat from left to right and from top to bottom.

Periodic properties have a pattern from the top to the bottom or down a group or family.

Also, across the period from left to right, they also show a repeating pattern.

Certain properties increase from left to right and decreases from top to bottom. E.g. electronegativity.
Also, some properties decreases from left to right and increases from top to bottom e.g. atomic radius.

If the two waves have the SAME FREQUENCY and are exactly
out of phase (180° apart), then the resultant wave will have the
same frequency and an amplitude of 1 unit.

If the two waves do not have the SAME FREQUENCY, then their
relative phase is meaningless.
