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."

Serga [27]

Answer:

Drive

Explanation:

The drive theory of motivation is a theory according to which people are motivated to take certain actions to reduce the internal tension caused by needs that are not being satisfied.

According to this theory, behavior is one of the ways that an organism maintains balance (or homeostasis). The term "drive" refers to the state of tension caused by biological or physiological needs. Thus, the behavior is an external display of the person desire to satisfy the physical deficiencies he/she is going through.

In this example, Thalia suffers from insomnia. After trying many methods, she finds that it is easier for her to fall asleep once she starts counting backwards.

In the drive theory, the consequences of lack of sleep would be the drive, the tension that is produced by physiological needs. The behavior Thalia has (counting backwards) would be the external display she has to satisfy this deficiencies to be able to sleep and thus, maintain homeostasis.

Thus, the drive theory suggests that she continues this habit because it results in homeostasis
