Answer:

The drag from wind holds the responsibility for driving ocean waves in addition to the surface tension.

Explanation:

The ocean currents at the first 100 m of its surface is moved by the wind drag.  Whereas, the ocean currents flowing below the thousand meters of its surface are driven by water's density gradient, which is governed by thermohaline circulation, 'thermo' means temperature and 'haline' means salinity. The centrifugal force has no role to do in driving the ocean current in its surface and earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect which is an example of hurricane winds.

What impact did the plague described in the passage have on Byzantine society?
siniylev [52]

As in most of the places that it spread out, the plague had a devastating effect on the Byzantine Empire and its society because of the big amount of death among the population. The Byzantine Empire was heavily influenced by the plague, and it lost very big portion of its population, which made the country weaker in both military and economic perspective. Because the empire was weakened, and it was in a period of the rising of the strong Turkic tribes that were moving westward, the empire was not able to keep its borders and ended its glory.
