I don't have a explanation but the answer is C. I took the test. Good Luck! If C is not Coriolis Effect then don't do C, Do whatever Coriolis Effect says.

Ocean current movement is affected mostly by five things: gravity, salinity, temperature, wind(Coriolis effect), and natural events such as earthquakes. However, the factor which makes it move in a curved pattern is the Coriolis Effect (phenomenon brought by the rotation of the Earth).  

Wind(Coriolis Effect) - Due to the Earth's rotation, wind moves towards the right in the Northern Hemisphere and towards the left in the Southern Hemisphere. These global winds dragging on the surface of the water drive the movement of the ocean currents.

The world population changed relatively little between the years 1200 and 1400. Which of the following statements about this tim
IRINA_888 [86]
C

Given that the World population changed little between this time, we can gather than the birth and death rates were similar, since they seem to cancel each other out from 1200-1400. To clarify, think of this. If you add something to a total (think births to population), but take away the same number (think deaths from population) you end up with the same total as before. Because of this, A is the correct answer choice (The birth rate and death rate were about equal).

Slope = 1; y-intercept = 8
insens350 [35]

Given parameters:

Slope  = 1

y- intercept  = 8

Unknown:

Equation of a line with the given slope  = ?

Solution:

A straight line is usually written in the form;

         y  = mx + c

where y and x are the coordinates

          m is the slope

          c is the y-intercept

To solve this problem, simply input the given parameters;

           y  = 1(x) + 8

           y = x + 8

The equation of the line is y = x + 8
