Convection currents transfer thermal energy from warmer to cooler region.

Option C

<u>Explanation</u>:

Thermal energy is transferred by convection from hot places to cold places. It is form of "kinetic energy" that is transferred as heat. When the hot liquid or gas becomes cool liquid or gas then convection happens. Then the cooler gas or liquid will goes to the place of hotter gas or liquid. This results in a "continuous circulation sequence".

"Water boiling" in a beaker is one of good examples of these "convection currents". Atmosphere is also example of convection. The Earth surface gets heat by sun the warm or hot air rises and cool air moves in. Other options are incorrect as thermal energy transfers from warm to cool places by convection.

4 A reaction that needs water,<br> macromolecules are broken down<br> ( biochemistry )
LenKa [72]

Answer:

Hydrolysis

Explanation:

Hydrolysis is a reaction that needs water to breakdown macromolecules into simpler units.

Macromolecules are giant polymers made up of several repeating monomeric units.

  • These units are too complex for the body to digest and derive nutritional benefits from them.
  • During hydrolysis, the complex is broken down into monomers.
  • The monomeric units are absorbable and useful for the body.

The Gulf Stream is a surface current in the Atlantic Ocean that flows northward from the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico. I
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The greatest changes to the path and strength of the Gulf Stream might be caused by an increase in the volume of river water that flows into the Gulf of Mexico (Option B)

Explanation:

The North Atlantic current or Gulf Stream carries warm water from the Gulf of Mexico forward Europe, providing a relative template clime in most of the European occident.

Ocean streams are sensitive to the amount of freshwater available on the surface. An increase in overflow and precipitation over the ocean could slow or revert the north Atlantic current, blocking warm water flow to Europe.

The deposition of freshwater could cause a temporal deceleration or total collapse of the North Atlantic Current, and this interruption might lead to very cold periods in the North Atlantic.

What are the two criteria for designation as a biodiversity hotspot?.
Ivan

Answer:

Biodiversity hotspots are regions under surveillance of humans where threatened and endemic species of flora and fauna are grown. These regions have been identified as some of the world's most important ecosystems.  

The two criteria for designation as a biodiversity hotspot are:

1. It must possess at least 1500 vascular plant species as endemics : It means the region must have a high percentage of plant species which are found no where else in the world.

2. It must have 30% or less native vegetation : It means that the plant species population is endangered and threatened to extinction.
