Geography
1 answer:
Kruka [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The holey-sock drogues contained by drifting buoys are centered at a depth of 15m and are tracked by the satellites. So, by taking the temporal difference of nearby drifter positions, the ocean currents are estimated.

Explanation:

A Buoy is an anchored floating mark used to read the properties of ocean currents for any future hazards.

An Ocean Current is the movement of sea water due to different forces acting upon it like temperature, Coriolis force, etc.

tino4ka555 [31]
I agree on that. it's not like there is completely no force of gravity acting on them (I mean if they're still around the earth) , it's that it's so little that they can't even notice it. they'll float around and they seems like they have no weight. this is called weightlessness.

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

No

Explanation:Because But geologists soundly denounced Wegener's theory of continental drift after he published the details in a 1915 book called "The Origin of Continents and Oceans." Part of the opposition was because Wegener didn't have a good model to explain how the continents moved apart
