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)

How do eukaryotic cells carry out the processes they need to live?​
Sidana [21]

Answer:

Unlike prokaryotes, eukaryotic cells compartmentalize various metabolic processes inside membrane-bound organelles. For example, the breakdown of certain food molecules to provide energy takes place in the mitochondrion, and photosynthesis takes place in a chloroplast.

Which event is not part of the process of DNA replication???
earnstyle [38]

The answer is; Ribosomes are synthesized

Ribosomes are only involved in the translation of mRNA to proteins. During DNA replication DNA helicase unwind the DNA double-strand by breaking hydrogen bonds between the two strands. DNA polymerase then replicates each strands using nucleotides complimentary of the replicating strands.

Does each musical instrument have its own sound pitch​
Pepsi [2]

Yes. For example, when you have a flute and you have a clarenet right next to each other and they are playing, you will notice that the clarenet is deeper than the flute.
