Answer:

Along the Kuroshio Current, because it is carrying water north towards melting ice caps

Explanation:

The ocean currents have the tendency to be faster when they are warmer, and to be slower when they are colder. The reason for this is that the warmer water is less dense, thus it can move more quickly, while the colder water is denser, thus heavier, so it moves slower. The Kuroshio Current moves from the lower latitudes toward the higher latitudes. As it does, this ocean current is becoming colder and colder as it gets closer to the higher latitudes, so it is becoming denser, heavier, and because of it slower. Another thing that will contribute to this current's slowing down are the melting ice caps because of the climate change, as they will make the water even colder, and the Kuroshio Current will come across this cold water, so it will decrease its speed significantly.

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Option-C

Explanation:

Traditional ecological knowledge is the knowledge acquired and adapted by the local or native people living in a particular area.

The traditional knowledge is gained by the holistic approach of gaining the knowledge that is which benefits survival and increases the chances of well being.

The approach aims at learning by making direct contact with the surrounding environment, learning its ways, understanding the relationship between the various factors and then adapting to the condition and utilizing the available information.

The traditional way aims at looking at the environment in whole but the modern way of understanding the environment aim by learning the environment in the components.

The traditional knowledge is always shared by the local people in their local language but since the ideology of gaining the knowledge differ in both the ways and TEK is shared in local language therefore sometimes the knowledge does not prove useful in the contemporary world.

Thus, Option-C is correct.

Are the counts of blue crabs in Maryland accurate for 1991 and 1999?
kirill [66]
The population of blue crabs will be difficult for the scientists to count because of unreliable ways and natural phenomenon or occurrence that causes the water's temperature to rise. According to climate reports, year 1999 have warmer temperature and this probably caused the blue crabs to be active, but on year 1990 female blue crabs sustained a normal quantity of production of their species. Thus, the estimated count of population of blue crabs is probably more accurate in year 1990 than year 1999 because of the stable production of the female crabs.
