The correct answer is D) When the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in a line.

Tides in Earth's Oceans are the highest when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in a line.

As we all know, it is the moon that influences the level of the sea and affects the formation of tides in the ocean. But you know what, the Sun also influences the formation of tides. Not as much as the moon but the sun indeed exert some influence. But when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are in a line during a full moon or new moon, it is when the combination creates the highest tides. Scientists call this phenomenon "spring tides."

Which of these lists is arranged in order from smallest wavelength to longest wavelength?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

b. wind waves, seiches, tsunami, tides.

Explanation:

The wavelength of water waves is calculated measuring the distances between the trough (low point) portion of a wave.  Usually, the bigger the wave, the greater the wavelength.

wind waves: small waves caused by the wind.  These waves tend to be small and with a short wavelength.

seiches: are usually waves on a lake or other closed water bassin.  They can be pretty high from a human perspective, so they are definitely bigger than wind waves.

tsunami: we all know how big the waves of a tsunami can be, totally wiping out coastal cities they encounter, so that's pretty big waves, and big waves tend to be larger apart (so with a bigger wavelength) than smaller ones.

tides: yes, a tide can be considered as a huge wave... that's running throughout the planet.  We barely see it as a wave because we can only see one wave at a time, the next wave being tens of thousands of mile away.

Which of the following statements about the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is correct? Please explain.
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

C. It transports heat from the North Atlantic to the Indian Ocean.

Explanation:

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is a massive oceanic current that circles around the Antarctic continent, that plays many roles.

One of the roles it plays is to connect all three major oceans (Atlantic, Pacific and Indian) together, and acts as a transportation system between them transferring heat, salt and other elements.

That role is vital in the global ocean thermo-regulation system of the planet.
