Answer:

Melting of Greenland ice sheets

Explanation:

The thermohaline circling is affected by the melting of Greenland ice sheets because freshwater is added to the Atlantic ocean, this will in-turn affect the salinity of the water because it will decrease.

As a result, the water will become less dense, hence, the thermohaline circulation cannot be formed because the water cannot sink below.

Qual a densidade demográfica média da europa? Ela e alta ou baixa?
valentina_108 [34]

The population density of Europe, as a whole, is 143 people per square mile. This makes Europe the second most densely populated continent in the world, with the first place being occupied bu Asia, so we can say that Europe is a densely populated continent as a whole.

It has to be taken in notice that Europe is a continent that has an aging population, the fertility rate is very low, and the life expectancy is high. Interestingly enough, even though there's only three countries in the whole continent that have a positive fertility rate, the population of the continent is still growing, slowly, by 0.3% annually, but it is growing. The growth is mainly because of the migrants, mainly from the Middle East and Africa, and apart from increasing the number of the population with their entry, they also tend to have a high fertility rate.

Is ice a mineral or not​
Ne4ueva [31]

No

Water does not pass the test of being a solid so it is not considered a mineral although ice; which is solid, is classified as a mineral as long as it is naturally occurring. Thus ice in a snow bank is a mineral, but ice in an ice cube from a refrigerator is not.
