How does thermohaline circulation repeat itself in a cycle

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, often referred to as the ocean's "conveyor belt", links major surface and deep water currents in the Atlantic, Indian, Pacific, and Southern Oceans."

Abner, a 70-year-old retired teacher, feels that his life has not been of any real value or significance. According to Erikson,

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Integrity

Explanation:

Erik Erikson was a psychologist who developed a theory of social development according to which we go through different stages during our whole lifespan, these stages are basically crisis which we are supposed to solve in order to continue our development.

The last stage of this theory is called ego integrity versus despair and it begins at approximately age 65 and it continues until death. During this stage, people look back and contemplate their lives and the accomplishments they achieved in their lives. If they think they had a meaningful life they achieve a sense of integrity. On the other hand if they think their life wasn't meaningful, they develop a sense of despair.

In this example, Abner has 70 years old and he feels that his life has not been of any real value or significance. Because of his age we can see that he must be in the stage of "ego integrity vs despair" and since he doesn't feel like he lived a meaningful live we can see that he is not achieving a sense of integrity.

Answer:

Romans believe in a variety of different Gods' in their world. Each and every God on the roman side was a the same god whom the Greeks worshiped but they gave them more power and military symbol, they were also said to be more mature in their roman forms. Romans (and greeks alike) believed that to communicate with the gods they had to make sacrifices to them, this showed proper support to the god they prayed to.

Most of the group decides to use the wood to build a fence, which would divide the island from the beach. But some people don’t

jonny [76]

It wouldn't be fair but it would be more unfair if the majority lost so it would make more sense to build the fence with less opposition then build something else with the wood with more.

sorry if that was confusing ><
