I believe it is the ascending loop of henle. In the ascending portion, the loop becomes impermeable to water and instead the cells of the loop, actively reabsorb the solute; thus water is not reabsorbed but ions are readily reabsorbed. As the ions are reabsorbed the concentration becomes more and more hypotonic until it reaches 100-150 mOsm/L. Therefore, the ascending loop is called the diluting segment of the nephron due to its ability to dilute the fluid in the loop from 1200 to 100 mOsm/L.

Which statement correctly describes how oceans in this area provide ideal conditions for rainfall?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer: A) Ocean water evaporates and the warm, moist air rises higher into the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The Equator receives the most direct sunlight on Earth. This makes the water near the Equator, and air above the water, typically warmer than surrounding areas. This warm, moist, less-dense air rises, and then cools as it travels through denser, colder layers. This constant cycle of evaporation and condensation creates an abundance of rain.

So, oceans near the Equator provide ideal conditions for rainfall because ocean water evaporates and the warm, moist air rises higher into the atmosphere.
