How does thermohaline circulation repeat itself in a cycle

Social Studies

Answer:

The new water gets cold and sinks

Explanation:

In the ocean as a whole, salt water is on the surface - because it is hotter than water with less salt. These two regions do not mix except in some special cases, as happens in the thermoaline circulation.

The part containing the highest salt concentration is denser than the part containing the least salt. Thus, when a part of the ocean that contains higher salinity comes in contact with a part with lower salinity, a current forms. The region of higher density (with higher salt concentration) is swallowed and submerged by the region of lower density (with lower salt concentration). This submersion creates a very large and slow current called thermoaline circulation.

Thus we can say that thermohaline circulation repeats in a cycle because the new water cools and sinks.

According to windows2universe.org:

"Surface ocean currents are primarily driven by winds. Deep ocean currents, on the other hand, are mainly a result of density differences. The thermohaline circulation<span>, often referred to as the ocean's "conveyor belt", links major surface and deep water currents in the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific, and Southern Oceans." </span>

The speed and degree with which the effects of alcohol and other drugs are felt depends on how much and how quickly the alcohol
wariber [46]

<span>The answer is true.  Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. When consumed, alcohol is absorbed by the stomach and small intestine and goes directly into the bloodstream and throughout the body. It relaxes the body, but often in such a way as to impair you. How it distresses you rest on on a number of factors, including amount, temperature and concentration. Pure alcohol, for example, will be absorbed much more quickly, and the same is true at warmer temperatures. Once in the blood, internal organs are affected. About 20% of the alcohol that is consumed goes into the bloodstream through the stomach walls, and the remaining 80% is absorbed through the small intestines. Once in the blood, the alcohol then reaches other internal organs. The organs that contain a high concentration of water and require a lot of blood, such as the brain, are particularly exposed to the effects of alcohol.</span>
