Why is London, United Kingdom,farther north than Ottawa, Canada, yet it has a warmer climate than Ottawa?
Alisiya [41]

So there's actually two answers to this question.  The Gulf Stream is part of the reason why Britain is warmer, since it carries so much warm water, but the difference between a maritime and a continental climate is more important. At the latitudes of Canada and Britain, the prevailing winds are coming from the west. If you're in the east, the prevailing winds are gonna have to travel all the way across the ocean, which will lead to it being warmer in the winter, and colder in the summer.  If you've got thousands of miles of continent out to windward, your climate will be more extreme. If you're going across the entire ocean, it's gonna be more mild, and predictable. Continents just get hotter and colder than oceans, and this affects the temperature of the atmosphere passing over them.

Flowing-water ecosystems, especially headwater streams, receive most of their energy from: A. light. B. water. C. wind. D. organ
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Option (D)

Explanation:

Organic detritus usually refers to those materials that are the remains of dead organisms such as plants and animals.

The flowing water ecosystem such as the head-water streams obtains most of the materials from the nearby terrestrial and aquatic places due to the surface runoff. It is highly rich in the amount of organic detritus, as the materials such as leaves, branches, roots, soil particles, and other organic waste products are transported from the land areas, thereby obtains its energy from them.

Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
