Identify and describe two ways the water cycle affects the salt levels in the ocean

Biology
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]4 years ago

Water cycle affects ocean salinity on different levels.

For example, evaporation of ocean water increases the salinity of the ocean, while precipitation and melting of ice decrease it, achieving the balance. Temperature, salinity and water cycle are tightly connected. As global temperatures rises, evaporation increases, and so the salinity. Salty ocean has a tendency to sink. On the other hand warmer ocean rises to the surface and this has influence on ocean currents which then impact the weather.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is "They lack an independent metabolism"

Explanation:

Viruses are usually active/alive in a living environment and become inactive in non-living environment; these is because they rely on the metabolic activities of the invaded living environment/cell. This property is a sharp contrast to normal living cells that are able to metabolize different substances independently using several organelles.

Which statement explains how convection currents affect the movement of plates? Gravity pulls one edge of a plate down into the
ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Convection currents direct the movement of Earth's rigid tectonic plates in the planet's fluid molten mantle.

In places where convection currents rise up towards the crust's surface, tectonic plates move away from each other in a process known as seafloor spreading.

So, I would say the answer is:

As convection currents drift across the oceans,

they bring the pieces of Earth's crust with them as the supercontinent breaks apart.

Glad I could help, hv a good day :)
