The correct answer is - A. Differences in temperature.

The convection currents are the result of differences in temperature. In practice this can easily be seen with the ocean currents. The warm ocean currents from the Equator move towards the Poles and bring to those areas warmer water which is moving on the surface of the ocean because it is lighter. The cold water from the Poles is driven towards the lower latitudes where it sinks deeper because it is heavier. As the cold water reaches the lower latitudes, it warms up, and continues as warm current, and the process circles continuously.

insens350 [35]

Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

A fjord is usually defined as a contrasting geological landform, which is typically a U-shaped valley, that is formed due to the movement of the glaciers. It is generally narrow and forms steep-sided cliffs on both the sides and is mostly connected to the seas. They have huge depth, sometimes reaches up to a depth of about 1300 m. The downward flowing glaciers pushes the terminal moraine and allows it to remain underwater at its entrance, resulting in shallow water at the fjord's neck, in comparison to the main body of the fjord that is located behind it.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
