"Changing water salinity" is the most significant challenge for organisms that live in estuaries.

Answer: Option D

Explanation:

For estuaries, alkalinity levels are usually the maximum at a river's mouth where the ocean water falls for, and the minimum upstream where freshwater falls in. Although salinity vary throughout the tidal cycle. In estuaries, salinity rates usually decrease in spring as snow melt and rain raises the freshwater flow from streams and groundwater.

It influences the chemical environments within the estuary, especially the dissolved oxygen (DO) levels in the water. The level of oxygen that would get dissolved in water or its solubility get declined when the alkalinity rises.

How do surface currents affect climate

Bumek [7]

Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Therefore, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth's surface.

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{30 rev/s}}$

Explanation:

This question is based on the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum.

Angular momentum (L) equals the moment of inertia (I) times the angular speed (ω).

L = Iω

If momentum is conserved,

I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂

Data:

I₁ = 3.5 kg·m²s⁻¹

ω₁ = 6.0 rev·s⁻¹

I₂ = 0.70 kg·m²s⁻¹

Calculation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}I_{1}\omega_{1} &= &I_{2}\omega_{2}\\\text{3.5 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times \text{6.0 rev/s} &= &\text{0.70 kg$\cdot$m$^{2}$}\times\omega_{2}\\\text{21 rev/s} &= &0.70\omega_{2}\\\omega_{2} & = & \dfrac{\text{21 rev/s}}{0.70}\\\\&=&\textbf{30 rev/s}\\\end{array}\\\text{The skater's final rotational speed is $\large \boxed{\textbf{30 rev/s}}$}$

Why do remote controls for TV’s use infrared waves to communicate?

Delvig [45]

Answer: An IR remote (also called a transmitter) uses light to carry signals from the remote to the device so it can be controlled. It emits pulses of invisible infrared light that correspond to specific binary codes. These codes represent commands, such as power on, volume up, or channel down.
