AnnZ [28]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Options (1), (3), (4) and (5)

Explanation:

The deep ocean water refers to the water that is present at the bottom of the ocean. This deep water is highly dense, and are rich in essential nutrients including oxygen. Sunlight cannot penetrate into the deeper layer, as a result of which these water remains much colder and moves at a much slower rate in comparison to the surface waves. These deep ocean currents are generated by the density differences due to two factors namely, temperature and salinity.

These currents are moved from the equatorial region to the poles and again comes back from the poles to the equator, forming a circular pattern. This circulation of water is responsible for the various climatic conditions that occur at different places.

Thus, the correct answers are mentioned above.

What are the main reasons and sources of the increased CO2 levels?
Dmitry [639]
The main sources are humans which is why it is stated that the global warming is man made. The levels have increased beyond all measure, increasing since the 1950s by a 100 CO2 parts per million, and it keeps increasing by 2ppm on a yearly basis. The statistics from the industrial revolution era are not much different and show how much we've increased the CO2 in modern times.

You have been tasked with sorting the rock samples shown into three categories, with two rocks in each category. What attribute
fredd [130]

I would sort them into the categories of metamorphic rock, sedimentary rock, and igneous rock.

Igneous rocks are made from the cooling and solidifying of lava or magma. Pumice is one of these rocks, it's made from lava being thrown out of volcano, and rapidly cooling. Obsidian and granite the other igneous rocks in the list.

Sedimentary rocks are made from the sedimentation of smaller particles. Coquina limestone is one of these - it's made from the sedimentation of the shells of dead animals.

Metamorphic rocks are rocks which are created by extreme heat and pressure. Essentially, they used to be a different kind of rock, and now they're metamorphic rocks. Gneiss and soapstone are both metamorphic rocks.

So here are your final answers:

Igneous: Granite, Obsidian, Pumice

Sedimentary: Coquina limestone

Metamorphic: Gneiss, Soapstone
