Answer:

As explained below.

Explanation:

The North Atlantic deep water is a water mass formed deep in the Atlantic ocean and the circulation of the thermohaline layer in these ocean describes the distribution of sea salts in the ocean when the water is coo, it shrinks through the convection due to the increased density.

Thus the cold water is rich in oxygen and due to the decrease in the strength f the gulf stream that brings the warm water due to the cooling experience of the North Atlantic drift. Atlantic is a growing plate and pacific is a shrinking plate.

As compared to the warm and saline waters of the pacific ocean as a maximum of 37 parts per thousand is found in this ocean and being a zone of high volcanic and plate tectonic activity that brings out gases and lava at the ocean floor this area has less percentage of oxygen than Atlantic deep.

What are the cycles that use a catalyst to cause the reaction?

Andreas93 [3]

To cause the reaction, catalysts use the catalytic cycles, decomposition reactions, and combustion cycles.

<h3>What do you mean by a reaction?</h3>

A reaction refers to the chemical process where substances mutually act and are changed into different substances.

Catalytic cycles refer to the multistep reaction that involves the catalysts. It is considered the main method that describes the major role of catalysts.

Decomposition and combustion cycles are also used by the catalysts.

Therefore, A and B are the correct options.

What is likely to happen in the long term if the Earth continues to absorb more energy than it emits? A. The Earth will disconti

zvonat [6]

Answer: C. The overall temperature of the Earth will increase.

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that Earth has a layer, the atmosphere, that is almost transparent to solar radiation, which is composed mainly of shortwave radiation (ultraviolet (UV) and visible light). Then, this layer allows to pass most of the sunlight (visible light and a small part of the UV radiation), without being absorbed.

When this radiation reaches the Earth, it is absorbed by the water $(H_{2}O$ ), soil, plants, animals; well, everything that inhabits and also the buildings. Once this absorption process ends, the light turns into long wave (IR) radiation, generating heat that is then released into outer space and known as albedo.

However, due to climate change (caused by the humankind), the Earth now tends to absorb more energy than it emits to the space as IR radiation. If this process is mantained for a long term, the planet's global temperature will highly increase.
