A study published in Science notes that water flowing from the Atlantic Ocean into the Arctic is warmer than it's been in 2,000

years. Scientists believe that this increased heat input has far-reaching consequences to life on Earth. U.S. and European scientists studied the Fram Strait branch of the North Atlantic Current, the ocean current that carries heat north from the tropics. By studying tiny-shelled organisms called foraminifera found deep in the ocean floor, they could chart temperatures going back 2,000 years. From their findings, scientists reported that the water has warmed about 2o C since the late 1800's.
We would expect warmer Northern Atlantic currents to have all BUT ONE of these consequences on Earth.
A) higher sea level
B) increased ice melt
C) decreased precipitation
D) disruption of the Gulf stream

Answer:

C

Explanation:

All but decreased precipitation would be a consequence of warmer Northern Atlantic currents. When ocean water warms, increased evaporation occurs, thereby increasing average annual precipitation.

What is the thermocline?
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Beneath 200 meters, ocean waters cools at a constant rate of 1°C per 100 meters depth.

Explanation:

The ocean water is with the same characteristics throughout all of the oceans. The differences come in differences in temperature, density, salinity, etc. When it comes to temperature, it is what influences the other characteristics, and it is what causes the movement of water in the oceans.

The movement of ocean water occurs because in some parts, the ocean water gets cold, while in others it gets warm. The cold water drops deeper and moves toward the less dense warmer water, and as it gradually warms up itself it rises, pushing the warm water in opposite direction. The water is mixing at the surface, but this is not the case below 200 meters of depth, where water mixing stops. This zone, where the water is not mixing, is known as the thermocline and exists as such throughout all of the oceans.

Which of the following describes a decrease in a system's entropy?
harina [27]

Explanation:

A is the right answer, because when forming ice cubes the water molecules get much more organized and structured than before.

so, the entropy decreases.

in all the other options things get more distributed, so the entropy increases.
