<u>Temperature and salinity</u> is responsible for surface currents.

Explanation:

Temperature and salinity of ocean currents influence its density. Warmer  and less saline waters are less dense and hence form the surface currents, Cooler and more saline waters are denser and hence form the deep currents.

Remember that warm water can accommodate more salts and minerals, therefore, their relative concentration is lower than cooler water that gets concentrated fast with the same amount of salts and minerals. This is why deep currents that are cooler are more saline than surface currents.

City developer is considering building an amusement park near a local river. What tool would help the developer predict the futu
kolbaska11 [484]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Series of topographic maps in chronological order. </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

If we see the map in a chronological order, then that gives us the rough idea about the flow, angle and area of the river. A detailed study of the topographic map gives us the idea about the direction in which the river has flown over the years. Based on this map we can successfully form a model which will give us a future position and flow pattern of the river. So in the light of the above facts the use of the topographical maps in the chronological order is the most appropriate tool for mapping the future course of the river.

Hello!

As you know, the Ring of Fire is a string of active and dormant volanic sites and seismic activity stretching from the Americas to Asia and down to Australia in the Pacific Ocean. This area has around 450 volcanoes (if not more) and is full of many trenches, which are deep and narrow excavations.

In this case the most likely cause of volanic activity in the area is best said to be b. The movemenet of mantle rock through the cracks between tectonic plates

These movements are also the same reason that explains the earthquakes that primarily occur in this region.

Hope this helps and if you need anymore clarifaction feel free to ask.

The distribution of earthquakes defines the boundary of which major earth feature?
Alex_Xolod [135]
The distribution of earthquakes outlines the boundaries of the earth's tectonic plates. The crust is broken up into slabs of rock called tectonic plates. There are seven major plates and many smaller ones. The boundaries of these plates, where they interact with each other is marked by earthquake activity. The plates diverge, converge or slide past each other at slow rates. The movement of the plates generates earthquakes.
