Answer: Winds are primary energy source for currents that flow horizontally in the ocean surface layers (less than 100 to 200 m deep). Hence surface currents often called “wind driven currents” or “wind drift currents”.

Currents that flow deep in the oceans below the level affected by winds are generated by convection caused by variations in water density. Higher-density waters sink and displace (push aside or up) less –dense water. Because density is determined by temperature and salinity, deep-water circulation is called “thermohaline circulation”.

The winds are the primary source for both ‘wind driven circulation’ and ‘thermohaline circulation’ is the sun. Winds are generated by the density variations in the earth’s atmosphere caused by solar heating and radiative and evaporative cooling.

Thermohaline circulation is driven by density difference between ocean water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations.

Explanation:

This is the main cause to form a wave over the sea surface.

How would the seasonal paths of the Sun change for a location that is more North of this latitude?
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

At the North Pole, the sun is above the horizon for six straight months (March through September), spinning around in horizontal circles, reaching a maximum height of 23.5° above the horizon at the June solstice. As you travel southward in the northern hemisphere, the noon sun gets higher and higher.

How might the production of antibiotics and odours have evolved?​
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance evolves naturally via natural selection through random mutation, but it could also be engineered by applying an evolutionary stress on a population. Once such a gene is generated, bacteria can then transfer the genetic information in a horizontal fashion (between individuals) by plasmid exchange

The Great White Shark is on its way to being endangered. Why? Cite your evidence to support your response.
Brilliant_brown [7]

well according to my memory and one of the save the earth communities, the great white shark is almost extinct cause of pollution, and mainly poachers, lots of poachers for soup made of shark fins.
