Answer:

D) lower levels of precipitation due to a rain shadow on the leeward side of the mountain.

Explanation:

Mountains stop rainy whether at one side of the mountain which results in lush vegetation on that side and results in the rain shadow on another side.  

Rain shadow is that patch of land which is dry and warm because of lower level of precipitation as a result of blockage of rainy weather in opposite site by mountains. This side is called the leeward side. Dry warm climate is present at this site.

Example of rain shadow is dry basins east of the Cascade Range, The Great Basin of Nevada and Utah. These are found in North America. So the correct answer is D.

The diagram shows the thermohaline circulation, also know as the ocean's conveyor belt.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The statement that is true about red currents in the thermohaline circulation is that  water in the red currents contain less salt (option A).

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation is a concept used in oceanography, referring to the oceanic circulation that depends on factors such as surface heat and salinity, as well as the density gradient that they determine.

On a map, the different currents that are part of the thermohaline circulation are usually represented with blue and red lines, where:

  • <em>The blue lines represent deep, cold, dense and higher salinity currents.</em>
  • <em>The red lines represent surface currents, warm, with less salt content, so they are less dense.</em>

The red currents (see image) represented on the map have less salt content, compared to the currents represented in blue.
