Some scientists have hypothesized that if enough ice in Greenland melts, the Gulf Stream might be shut down. Without the Gulf St

ream to bring warm water northward, Europe would become much colder. Explain why melting ice in Greenland might affect the Gulf Stream.?

Answer:

Explanation:

Scientists have been able to determine that the melting of ice from Greenland ice sheet will reduce the rate of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) which is an important part of the global ocean current that determines the climate and controls Gulf stream. It as been inferred by researchers that this could affect climatic conditions in places like Europe and North America in the future.

The influx of fresh water from Greenland which is made up of runoff from ice, tundra and ice discharge will weaken the AMOC and this as both local and global effects on climate.

Which of the following factors would have the net effect of making a place warmer in the summer? Which of the following factors
schepotkina [342]

The factor that would have the net effect of making a place warmer during summer would be that it is in the middle of a landmass.

The reason why a warmer summer would be present at the middle of a landmass is because landmass:

1. Has a lower specific heat capacity, and therefore can be heated up quickly, through receiving insolation from the sun.

2. Land is opaque, therefore insolation only concentrate in shallow areas, making the surface temperature increase.

3. There is no mixing of warm and cold layers, along with the lack of presence of evaporation, there would be less cooling

In sum, the above effects can be called continental climate, and thus the middle of a land mass is cooler.

For your reference, here's why the other options are not correct:  

At a high elevation near an ocean - near the ocean would mean it has a maritime effect and therefore a cooler summer.

At a high latitude - with the less dense air, heat will be absorbed faster resulting in faster heat loss hence a cooler summer.

Hope it helps!
