e warm equatorial surface currents are responsible for the moderate winter climates of certain countries such as France and Spain. Which of the following is most responsible for this occurrence? The sun heats earth’s oceans causing convection currents to travel from the equator to the poles.
Differences in the ocean’s salinity cause deep water convection currents.
Convection within earth’s mantle caused by a hot iron core.
Global wind patterns that determine the direction of surface curren
D is the correct answer because, in aqueous solution, solvent is water and solute (in this example carbon dioxide CO₂) is a substance dissolved in water. The amount of solute that can be dissolved in a solvent depends of chemical composition, temperature and pressure
