Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

  • The grand canyon is a steep side canyon that is formed the Colorado rover in the state of  Arizona and is a 277 mile long and is 29 km wide. The Colorado River established its course about 5 to 6 million years ago and since then has been cutting the tributaries and deepening the canyon.
  • The upliftment lined to the mountain formation later moved the sediments thousand feet upwards and created the Colorado plateau. Causing the temperatures in the northern rimland to decrease than in the southern rim due to its greater height above elevation.
  • As weather varies according to the elevations the forested rims have high snowfall but the temperature at the Colorado rover is warmer, about 1,737 species of vascular planet and fungi, lichens and others are found at 24,00 meters height.

Looking at the heat circulation in the ocean, what might happen to it if large amounts of cold water are added in the polar regi
Aleksandr [31]
<span>There has been a great deal of discussion about the extent to which climate change could influence thermohaline circulation and its turnover processes in the Atlantic. After all, convection at high latitudes could be weakened by anthropogenic (caused by humans) warming of the atmosphere and the accompanying decrease in surface-water density. Additionally the density will decrease as a result of lower salinity in the North Atlantic. Climate change will probably cause an increase in freshwater input through a number of pathways, which will affect convection and thermohaline circulation. One way would be by an increase in precipitation over both the continents and the ocean. Another would be the increase of freshwater run-off from the melting glaciers to the sea. Furthermore, because less ice forms when it is warmer, the salt concentration in the surface water would not be increased as much by this proces</span>
