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.

According to some scientists, which is a cause of global warming?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Changes in solar energy

Explanation:

When released into the atmosphere, certain gases act like a blanket, preventing heat from escaping. One of the most important heat-trapping gases is carbon dioxide (CO2), which is released when we burn fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas.

Once released, carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere for roughly 40 years, though its effects stay much longer; other gases, like methane, are even longer-lived. The cumulative effect is to raise the planet’s temperature.
