Answer:

Earth rotation= Surface currents (coriolis effect)

Both temperature and difference in water density cause DEEP ocean currents

Near top is obviously surface ocean

Near ocean floor= Deep

and there isnt wind in the water is it? So Wind= Surface ocean

Answer: This is What drives ocean currents

- Surface is primarily driven by wind (friction from wind transfers energy and momentum to surface water)

- Deep is slower, driven primarily by density (salinity and temperature) differences

- Thermocline: dramatic temp drop 50 m from surface bc sun can't shine

- Halocline: dramatic gradient in saline, increase as it deepens

- Pycnocline: resulting change in density (50-1000)

Which question will best help a student determine whether an organism is a member of Kingdom Archaebacteria or a member of Kingd
exis [7]

Answer:

Do the organism's colls have nuclei?

Explanation:

Protists represent eukaryotic organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and organelles delimited by membranes, whereas Archaea and Bacteria are unicellular prokaryotic organisms that lack a cell nucleus, in which the genetic material (chromosome) is localized in a part of the cytoplasm named nucleoid. Eukaryotic organisms include protists, animals, plants, fungi, and most algae. Most protists are unicellular, although there are species that are multicellular.
