Answer:

Correct Answer is B (Differences in temperature)

Explanation:

One of the main cause of ocean current to occur is variation of temperature of different layer of oceanic water.Water which have high temprature is less dense and this Less density water float above the surface of high density water. When this less density water reached on the surface of ocean that time wind which blows on the surface water makes the water cool or in other words we can say that water released its heat to the surrounding environment. when water becomes cool it again shifted in downward direction and less density water will moves upward. In this way this process will continue and hence ocean current is created.

The USDA recommends that women consume about 2000 Calories per day and men consume about 2500 Calories per day. How much average

professor190 [17]

Answer:

1500 W to 2200 W

Explanation:

Every person does work in his daily day to day life. A person needs energy in order to perform work. And the energy consumed by an individual while performing a daily work is directly responsible to the mount of oxygen consumed by the person.

The USDA is the federal agency which looks after the food and agriculture matters of the US government. It deals with and formulates different policies and laws for the country and it s people. It recommends about 2000 calories per day for women and for men it recommends about 2500 calorie per days of food intake.

Accordingly, the average power required by a human body for doing regular work is in the range of 1500 W to 2200 W.

Catalytic ozone destruction occurs in the stratosphere by a two-step reaction:

Sladkaya [172]

Catalytic ozone destruction occurs in the stratosphere where the reactions involving bromine, chlorine, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen gases form compounds that destroy the ozone layer. The reactions uses a catalyst (speeds up the reaction) in a two step reaction. considering chlorine the reactions appears as follows;
step 1
Cl + O3 = ClO + O2
step 2
ClO + O = Cl + O2
Where by chlorine is released to destroy the ozone layer, this takes place many times even with the other elements (hydrogen, bromine, nitrogen) and the end result is a completely destroyed Ozone layer

On what two properties of a material does its density depend on?

ExtremeBDS [4]

Density of a material depends upon it's mass & volume.

You can calculate it by: Density = Mass / Volume

Hope this helps!
