<u>Answer:</u>

The three large peninsulas extending off of Europe are the Iberian Peninsula, Italian Peninsula, and the Balkan Peninsula.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The Europe continent is a 'peninsula of peninsulas'. Which means a bigger piece of land covered by 'water on three sides' and is constituted by smaller pieces of land which are also covered by 'water on three sides'.
  • It is a peninsular landmass that is made up of other subsidiary peninsulas stretching out of the main peninsula.
  • The European continent is covered by water on three sides both on the northern front and the southern front.
  • It is covered by water on almost all the sides but is still connected to a larger piece of land.
  • The three of the major peninsulas in Europe are the 'Iberian Peninsula', 'the Balkan Peninsula' and 'the Italian Peninsula' which are all on the southern side of the European continent.

Which of the following statements about the Antarctic Circumpolar Current is correct? Please explain.
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

C. It transports heat from the North Atlantic to the Indian Ocean.

Explanation:

The Antarctic Circumpolar Current is a massive oceanic current that circles around the Antarctic continent, that plays many roles.

One of the roles it plays is to connect all three major oceans (Atlantic, Pacific and Indian) together, and acts as a transportation system between them transferring heat, salt and other elements.

That role is vital in the global ocean thermo-regulation system of the planet.

Changes in ocean currents have caused what to occur to people who are living in the inland parts of North America?
Lana71 [14]

Currents involve movement of ocean water masses, driven either by wind or by differences in temperature, salinity and density. The most important from a human perspective are the wind-driven surface currents that move water in the uppermost layer of the ocean.

Currents affect humans in several primary ways. Currents help shape the climate in the areas where we live, create the right conditions to support abundant ocean life in the areas where we fish, and change weather patterns through periodic events like El Nino/La Nina.

Ocean currents also cause upwelling in many areas like off in the inland parts of North America, where surface currents taking water away from the shore cause nutrient-rich water to well up from the ocean deeps. The abundance of nutrients in these areas forms fertile ground for kelp beds and marine fisheries, which in turn furnish food for humans. Alterations in current patterns like the El Nino/La Nina cycle affect humans as well by causing changes in local weather patterns in the years when they occur.
