How is energy transferred with ocean currents?

1 answer:

8 0

Heat moves in predictable ways, flowing from warmer objects to cooler ones, until both reach the same temperature. Because water in the ocean holds a large amount of heat, the ocean has a major effect on climate. When air in contact with the ocean is at a different temperature than the sea surface, heat transfer by conduction takes place. The ocean also absorbs and stores energy from the sun, and when precipitation falls, it releases heat energy into the atmosphere.

Lignin and cellulose provide rigidity to the cell walls of plants. But in most fungi, chitin performs this role. Why is it logic

WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Fungi most fungi produce cellulases.

Explanation:

Fungi are eukaryotic microorganisms, however unlike other eukaryotes. Their cell wall is made up of chitin instead of cellulose.

Chitin is a fibrous polysaccharide found in the exoskeleton of arthropods and the cell wall of fungi. where as cellulose is also a polysaccharide which is an important structural component of plant cell wall.

Since fungi are saprophytic they produce enzymes such as cellulases that will help in breakdown of cellulose for food.

They cannot have a cell wall made of cellulose.

How the seismic tracings recorded at station A and station B indicate that station A is farther from the earthquake epicenter th

VMariaS [17]

The seismic traces recorded at station A and station B indicate that station A is further from the earthquake epicenter than station B because the ground movement detected at B was greater than that detected at A, with seismic waves more frequent and less frequent respectively.

<h3>Seismograph</h3>

A seismograph is a device that detects ground movements, including those generated by seismic waves. It consists of the basic sensor of the seismographic instruments of which the seismograph and the seismoscope are part. These movements are then recorded in seismographs, which have been plotted graphs called seismographs.

<h3> Propagation speed</h3>

Seismic station A is located 5,400 kilometers from the earthquake's epicenter. How long would it take for the first S wave produced by this earthquake to reach seismic station A? The propagation speed of this type of waves varies with the medium in which they propagate, with typical values of

330 m/s in air
1 450 m/s in water
and 5 000 m/s in granite.

They are not as destructive as S waves or the surface waves that follow them. The propagation speed of these waves is, in general, slightly less than twice that of S waves.

With this information, we can conclude the velocity of propagation of seismic waves and how a seismograph enumerates the distance from the epicenter of an earthquake.
