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)

Use the phylogenetic tree to the right to determine which statement below is true.
Setler79 [48]

<u>Answer:</u>

Organisms C and D are more closely related than  

Organisms A and B

<u>Explanation:</u>

Organisms A and B are not related much as the distance between them is more than the organisms C and D so the C and D are closer than A and B. The phylogenetic tree shows the biological evolutionary relationship among various biological   species. So the given tree shows the relationship as mentioned above.

It also show the physical and genetic relationship among the various biological species. The phylogeny is generally shown by using a particular phylogenetic tree. For example, the simple one below which describes the different evolutionary relationships between the great apes. The genus Pongo includes orangutans, Pan includes chimpanzees and bonobos, and Homo includes humans, while Gorilla is self-evident.

b. Watermelon  - Watermelon are very good source of wateras they are is made up of 91% water.

c. Ice cream  - It is a goo dsource of water as it it made up of water, milk and fat. water i spresent in higher amount.

d. Raisins  - raisins are poor source of water as they are dried up and they loss the moisture content but can be a healthy source if consumed after soaking in water.
