When sea ice forms in the ocean, the salinity of the surrounding ocean water

Geography
1 answer:
Oxana [17]2 years ago
6 0
This process is known as thermohaline circulation. In the Earth's polar regions ocean water gets very cold, forming sea ice. As a consequence the surrounding seawater gets saltier, because when sea ice forms, the salt is left behind. As the seawater gets saltier, its density increases, and it starts to sink.

These problems are likely caused by urbanization.
nydimaria [60]

The answers are:

- air pollution; the bigger cities create lots of dust, there's always new building sites that contribute to dust and some of the working materials to pollute the air. Also there's big amount of vehicles that release toxic gases, as well as the industry.

- housing shortages; the more people there are at some city, the more difficult it is to have space for everyone, because usually the process of building new homes doesn't correspond with the amount of people coming in.

- overcrowding; the larger the population at some place, the more crowded it gets, be it in traffic, walking, in stores, institutions...

- water pollution; more people means more pollutants in the water they are using, which in return creates water shortages because big portion of the water can not be used afterwards.

- water shortages; the amount of fresh water is limited, so once the population surpases the optimal number problems with fresh water start to occur. To this also contributes the irresponsible usage of water.

Which of the following societies has the most rigid hierarchy?
solong [7]

Answer: In Medieval Europe, knights pledged loyalty to vassals, who in turn pledged theirs to powerful lords, and serfs labored in the fields.

Explanation:

A rigid hierarchy refers to one where people who are born into a certain position in life, find it quite hard to move from it or rather one where there are different social classes and people had to be classified in one class for the system to work.

The system during medieval times was much like this. Social classes existed that determined a person's worth in society such as the knights, vassals, Lords and Royals. There was also the serfs who were considered the lowest in the hierarchy.
