Biology

Iceberg: The formation of icebergs increases salinity because it is taking liquid water out of the ocean without taking the salt.

Sea Ice: Same as icebergs, this increases salinity because it removes liquid water.

Runoff: This decreases salinity because it is introducing fresh water into the ocean, reducing the salt to water ratio.

Evaporation: This would increase salinity because it is removing liquid water from the ocean, increasing the salt to water ratio.

Hope this helps!

<h2>Illusory Correlation</h2>

Explanation:

  • Illusory correlation is the assumption that a relationship exists between two variables that are really not related
  • The perception that a relationship exists between two variables (which could include behaviors, events, items, or people) when in fact there is not a strong relationship between the two. Illusory correlation is created when two separate variables are paired together, which leads to an overestimation of how often they co-occur. It is illusory in that the relationship between the two variables is not real; it is the result of our biased perception of the variables and a lack of information
  • For example with Sal. Because he had two bad experiences in which he believed that cashiers in London were stealing from him, he wrongly concludes that all London cashiers are thieves. However, Sal may have had good experiences with cashiers. For example, he could have run into one on the street who gave him directions or purchased him a beverage at a pub, but Sal either didn't recognize they were cashiers or didn't remember

Answer:

Organic compounds contain carbon atoms bonded to other atoms.

Explanation:

The organic compounds have as a fundamental element carbon, an element which is tetravalent because it has four covalent bonds. Carbon can form chains of variable length, thanks to that. You can also find hydrogen in those chains that's why we can say that the organic compounds are formed by hydrocarbon chains (carbon and hydrogen)
