<span>When a stream floods, it deposits much of the sediment that it carries onto its floodplain as the largest pieces have a lot of weight and cannot be carried so are deposited.</span>

Looking at the heat circulation in the ocean, what might happen to it if large amounts of cold water are added in the polar regi
Aleksandr [31]
<span>There has been a great deal of discussion about the extent to which climate change could influence thermohaline circulation and its turnover processes in the Atlantic. After all, convection at high latitudes could be weakened by anthropogenic (caused by humans) warming of the atmosphere and the accompanying decrease in surface-water density. Additionally the density will decrease as a result of lower salinity in the North Atlantic. Climate change will probably cause an increase in freshwater input through a number of pathways, which will affect convection and thermohaline circulation. One way would be by an increase in precipitation over both the continents and the ocean. Another would be the increase of freshwater run-off from the melting glaciers to the sea. Furthermore, because less ice forms when it is warmer, the salt concentration in the surface water would not be increased as much by this proces</span>

In a liquid, objects denser than the liquid tend to sink, while objects less dense
LiRa [457]
If an object that is put in a fluid weighs more than the weight of the fluid it displaces, it will sink. Buoyancy is then, directly related to the weight, or density, of the fluid. A more dense, or heavier fluid will then have the ability to “float” heavier objects. true floating object must be wholly above the surface of the liquid. all objects that float must contain some trapped air and that is the only reason why they float. the amount of liquid on which the object floats matters somehow, i.e. an object will float higher in a larger volume or deeper liquid. The density of an object determines whether it will float or sink in another substance. An object will float if it is less dense than the liquid it is placed in. An object will sink if it is more dense than the liquid it is placed in. If the density of an object in the fluid is greater than the density of the fluid, the object will sink. If the density is less than that of the fluid, the object will float upward due to the buoyancy from the fluid. Buoyant force is the product of displaced volume times density of the fluid times the acceleration due gravity. Hence increasing the density of fluid will increase the buoyant force.

Which object in space emits light because it releases energy produced by nuclear fusion ?
Charra [1.4K]
The Sun is a main - sequence star, and thus generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium.  In its core, the Sun fuses 620 million metric tons of hydrogen each second.
