How do oceanographers use their measurements of the conductivity of seawater?

Margarita [4]3 years ago

Oceanographers can measure the salinity of a body of water in several ways, but the two most common methods are using a hydrometer set or a salinometer.

A hydrometer set consists of a cylinder, a hydrometer, a thermometer, and a temperature-salinity-density (or TSD) graph. The hydrometer measures the water density as higher salt content means denser water, which causes the hydrometer to float higher in the cylinder. The temperature is then measured and both are compared to a plot of the density and temperature readings on the TSD graph. This then gives them the salinity, as temperature, salinity, and density are related variables.

Oceanographers can also use a salinometer to determine salinity by measuring electrical conductivity, but the instrument is not very accurate. Both of these tools measure salinity in parts per thousand.

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B) undergo global warming at the same rate as we are seeing currently</em>

Explanation:

The Sun and the volcanoes play a great role in controlling our environment and climate even today. The quantity of the rays of the sun hitting the different parts of the Earth determines what the average weather or climate of a region would be. The volcanoes that erupt from the Earth have been a cause for global warming even today and will continue to raise the temperature of the Earth.

Why virus, virions, prions have no place in five kingdom classification​
Ainat [17]

Hey, there!!

There is no place for virus, virions, prions in kungdom classification. The reason is they show both living and non living characters, which don't define them whether they are living beings or non living things.

As in 5 kingdoms, the only living organisms are classified.

  • Kingdom Monera mostly deals with the organism which contains prokaryotic cells.
  • Kingdom Protista deals with the organism which have eukaryotic cells.
  • Kingdom Fungi deals with various fungal organism.
  • Kingdom Plantae deals with various type of plants.
  • Kingdom Animalia deals with various type of animals.

So, you can see that there is non of the kingdoms which deals with the organism which have similar characteristics like viruses, virions and prions.
