The answer is friction. As ocean wave approach the shoreline, they are affected by the sea bed through process such as refraction, shoaling, bottom friction and wave-breaking. However wave breaking also occurs in deep water when the waves re too steep. If the waves meet major structurer or abrupt changes in the coastline, they will be transformed by diffraction.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The currents of the major oceanic gyre systems are driven by the drag of surface winds that are part of the major anticyclonic pressure and wind systems over the ocean basins. Option A. This is further explained below.

<h3>What is an Oceanic gyre system?</h3>

Generally, An ocean gyre is simply defined as a huge system of circular ocean currents generated by world round wind patterns and energy caused by the rotation of the Earth.

In conclusion, Surface wind drag is caused by the large anticyclonic pressure and wind systems that exist across the ocean basins.

Why are oxygen concentrations in the deep waters of the North Atlantic higher than the concentrations found in the deep North Pa
GarryVolchara [31]

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.
