Deep water areDeep water currents are water movement patterns that take place more than 400 meters below sea level. They are influenced by both ocean density and temperature changes. Cooler water has a higher salt density than warm water, so as currents flow through cool areas, the warmer water in that region rises and the cool water flowing into the area sinks. This pattern continues as water currents travel through broad temperature zones and climate regions. The rising and sinking water actions cause the movement we call currents.
measuring currents are Both types of ocean currents are measured using units called Sverdrup (Sv). Sverdrup measures current flow rates, where 1 Sv is equal to 10 to the 6th power cubic meters per second, or about 265 million gallons per second. While ocean currents themselves can have flow rates of hundreds or thousands of Sv per second, the total Sv flow for all the fresh water sources in the world is only equal to about 1 Sv. This helps demonstrate the massive power and speed that ocean currents are capable of.

Which statement expresses an assumption behind the articles of confederation that is not an behind the u.s. constitution the pas

bulgar [2K]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although the question does not provide options or the statements, we can say that statement expresses an assumption behind the articles of confederation that is not behind the US constitution could be the following: "the main principle of the Articles of Confederation was the

the sovereignty of organized power and the independence of the separate or disunited States."

Then, President Adams continued saying that according to the US Constitution, the role of the central government was to serve the citizens of the United States and that each state had to resolve their own administrative issues.

Let's remember that the Articles of Confederation was the first US Constitution, but left a weak central government that depended so much on the states. That is why delegates met at the Constitutional Convention of Philadelphia in 1787, to sign the United States Constitution.

How did the early egyptian nationalist movement vary from that of india?

steposvetlana [31]

<span>The early Egyptian nationalist movement varies from that of India because in India, a single or even though there is only one single political party, it can already dominate the nationalist movement. While in Egypt that kind of politics didn't work like how it is in India.</span>

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Evadne, a teacher at an elementary school is completing a rating scale for one her students. The teacher has often complained about the student to the school counselor, leaving a bad impression about the student on the school counselor. Which of the following rating scale errors is most likely to occur?

(a) Severity

(b) Negative halo

(d) Response Deviance

Answer:

The best answer seems to be negative halo.

Explanation:

Negative halo is also known as reverse halo effect. Halo effect refers to a cognitive bias caused by a good first impression. It happens when we allow that first impression to influence our general opinion of a person. Negative halo is, therefore, the opposite, when we allow a first bad impression to permeate our thoughts and actions toward that person. In the situation we are studying here, it is very likely that the school counselor will be influenced by the unfavorable opinions he/she has heard from the teacher.
