Answer:

3. The land heats up faster than water, creating a sea breeze.

Explanation:

In Florida, the average high-temperature is 72.9°F (22.7°C), and the average low-temperature is 52.3°F (11.3°C) in the month of December. A sea breeze can be described as it is a wind that blows from the ocean inland towards the land. This breeze occurs most often when there is a temperature differences between the ocean and nearby land, particularly in the afternoon when the land is at maximum heating from the sun.

The sun heats up both the ocean surface and the land during the day. Water and land, both absorb the energy from the sun. Water heats up much more slowly than land and so the air above the land will be warmer compared to the air over the ocean. The warm air over the land will rise throughout the day, causing low pressure at the surface. Over the water, high surface pressure will form because of the colder air. To compensate, the air will sink over the ocean. The wind will blow from the higher pressure over the water to lower pressure over the land causing the sea breeze.

just olya [345]

Answer:

Marine mining is a process that can be done by dredging the seabed and is used for the extraction of mineral resources from the seabed, which are non-renewable, with a negative impact on marine ecosystems.

Explanation:

The illustration shows a process of marine mining by dredging, where the resource extracted is of a mineral nature, like copper, zinc, silver and gold. Gravel used for construction can also be extracted from the sea. Mineral resources extracted from the sea are not renewable.

The process of marine mining can be harmful to the ecosystems there, so it must be a process that requires control and management from the ecological point of view.

Two possible consequences of not regulating marine mining are:

  1. <u><em>Destruction of the habitat of life forms present on the sea floor</em></u><em>, which endangers many species and even forces migration to more stable areas, with consequences on the food chains. </em>
  2. <em><u>Extinction of marine species that inhabit the seabed</u></em><em>. The flora and fauna of the sea floor usually have slow reproductive cycles and, in the case of fish, spawning takes place on the bottom of the sea. Mining endangers the reproductive cycles of the species, leading to induced extinction.</em>

Responsible and controlled mining activity can be useful for humans, while avoiding negative consequences on the ecosystems that exist at the seabed.
