Explanation:

Ocean instability are due to the vertical temperature profile of the top 100 meter are not main drivers for the surface ocean current as, the surface ocean currents are derived by the velocity of the wind and the coriolis effects. Deep water current and the circulations current are driven by the changes in the salinity and the temperature which is also known as density currents.

If a polygon is rotated, which of the following characteristics of the polygon will always be the same? Select ALL that apply.

luda_lava [24]

Answer:

Side lengths

Angle measures.

Explanation:

Polygon refers to two dimensional shapes that is created by straight line segments connected to form polygonal circuits. When rotated they have the same lengths and angle measures because it is equilateral and equiangular and rotated at 360 degrees.

This means that it has equal side lengths and equal measure angles.

The number of lines of reflection symmetry is the same as the side of polygon because it has the same length.

For example, Pentagon is a five sided polygon, when rotated, it has five lines order of symmetry. The angle of rotation is 360 degrees, therefore 369 degree is divided by the five lines of symmetry which is 72 degrees.
