What describes why ocean currents are considered convection currents

Physics
2 answers:
ratelena [41]3 years ago

Convection occurs because the oceanic waters heat up becoming less dense. This water moves above the cooler water, and give off its heat to the surrounding environment. As it cools, it begins to sink, and the process begins again.

The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation: When a fluid is heated unevenly, it starts moving in convection cells, carrying thermal energy from its warmer parts to its colder parts. Such motion due to temperature differences is called a convection current. Ocean currents may be considered convection currents because warm water rises and cold water moves in to replace it. Warm currents carry thermal energy from warmer regions near the equator toward the poles. Cold currents move toward the equator, making the temperature there lower than it would be otherwise.

In order to create a charged object, you need to ________.
Brums [2.3K]
In order to create a charged object you need to transfer electrons either away or to the object by induction, conduction, or friction

Induction is without contact(like bringing a charged object to a electroscope charges the leaves at the bottom)
Conduction is with contact(like the previous answer, wore touching transfers the charge from a source to the object)
Friction(rubbing a balloon on wool)

If your heart is beating at 76. 0 beats per minute, what is the frequency of your heart's oscillations in hertz?
nikitadnepr [17]

If the heart is beating at 76. 0 beats per minute, the Frequency of heart's oscillations in hertz is 1.25 Hertz.

The Frequency is defined as the number of oscillations completed in 1s.

Our heart beats continuously giving rise to the frequency of the heart.

Measuring frequency would be possible if we measure the time in seconds.

75 beats per minute means that 75 beats occur in 60s.

Frequency = Number of beats / Total time taken

Frequency = 75 / 60

Frequency = 1.25 Hz

Hence, number of beats per second is 1.25 Beats.

Beats per second or Cycles per second is same as the frequency of oscillation called as Hertz (Hz)

Hence, frequency of the heart oscillation is 1.25 Hertz (Hz).
