juin [17]3 years ago

An ocean current is a continuous movement of water in the ocean in some direction - this means that the water flows at a similar speed and direction despite the fact that it's not the same water - i.e. there is a water exchange in the current. The currents are caused by such factors as temperature and salinity of water.

Why have the rules governing building on permafrost changed?
marshall27 [118]

The correct answer is - A) Permafrost used to be permanent.

The permafrost used to be permanent until recently, so using certain techniques of building on it functioned properly. But with the climate changes that are becoming more and more evident, the permafrost is no longer permanent, but instead, it is either defrosting in some part of year and then forming again, or has been totally absent from some regions in the present.

That has caused changes in the rules governing building on permafrost. The reason for the changes is that the old techniques do not work properly anymore, and the permafrost changes are making change in the landscape, making big damages on the infrastructure in meantime.

What happens to lava after it erupts from a volcano.
LuckyWell [14K]

When a volcano erupts, the molten rock (or magma) that comes out of the Earth is called lava. Because lava is so hot (more than 1,100 degrees C, over 2,000 degrees F), it remains molten and flows across the ground until it cools and hardens into rock.
