Increased air temperatures decrease the salinity of the ocean since more ice is melting adding more fresh water to the oceans, therefore slowing down the great ocean conveyor belt.
<h3>What is an ocean conveyor belt?</h3>
Ocean conveyor belt system in which water moves between the cold depths and warm surface in oceans throughout the world.
Increases in temperatures of surrounding entities like ice and an increase in precipitation adds fresh water into the sea, which lower salinity. Seawater with lower salinity is lighter in density and won't sink as much as denser water.
As the seawater gets saltier, its density increases, and it starts to sink. Surface water is pulled in to replace the sinking water, which in turn eventually becomes cold and salty enough to sink. This initiates the deep-ocean currents driving the global conveyer belt.
Hence, option A is correct.

Answer:
layers of rock get folded
The Standard Temperature and Pressure is 1 atm, 273 K
<u>Explanation:</u>
STP is Standard Temperature and Pressure
- Standard temperature is characterized as zero degrees Celsius (0°C), or 273.15 degrees Kelvin (273.15 K). This is the point of solidification of water at sea level, in the air at standard pressure.
Standard Temperature is
0° C in Celsius or 273 K in Kelvin
- Standard Pressure is 1 Atm, 101.3kPa or 760 mmHg or torr. STP is the "standard" condition regularly utilized for estimating gas density and volume.
Standard Pressure is
1 Atmosphere (atm)
760 Torricelli's (torr)
760 Millimeters of Mercury (mmHg)
101.325 KiloPascals (kPa)
Answer:
The boiling point of the solvent above a solution change from that of the pure solvent is directly proportional to the molal concentration of the solute
