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

Geography
1 answer:
Oxana [17]3 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.

be over a hot spot, which is why it is the only one of the seven large islands that has active volcanoes. What should be TRUE of
laiz [17]

Answer:

What should be <u>TRUE</u> of the island of <em>Hawaii</em> :

  • Scientists in search of ongoing speciation events are more likely to find them here than on the other six large islands.
  • Its species should be more closely related to those of nearer islands than to those of farther islands.
  • It should have a rich fossil record of terrestrial organisms.

Explanation:

In cases of <em>geographic isolation</em>, and subsequent speciation, produced by dispersal and colonization phenomena we can find the island of Hawaii. Adaptation to these environments can be the trigger for divergence. The <em>large number of species</em> in this archipelago, more than 500, seems to have emerged  through<em> migration</em> and diversification. Many of these are endemic to a nearby island, and the subsequent<em> evolutionary divergence.</em>

The volcanic islands, which have never been in contact with the continent, are especially<u> rich in endemic species; </u>the species that inhabit them are descendants of those who arrived in times past and <u>were able to adapt.</u>

Almost ninety years ago, in the south of the island of Hawaii, they revealed some <u>bones </u>that turned out to be the<u> first bird fossils discovered i</u>n the archipelago. The bones were under a flow of prehistoric lava and on a bed of volcanic ash.

In short, the Island of Hawaii is of great interest to scientists and there are always new developments buried years ago by volcanic activity.
