Surface currents are caused by friction between which two elements?

1 answer:

7 0

A.) The ocean surface and wind

Surface currents are caused by friction between the ocean surface and wind.

Ocean current is the horizontal movement of seawater on the ocean's surface. It is driven by the wind's circulation above the ocean's surface. Frictional stress found between the ocean's surface and the circulating wind causes the water to move at the direction of the wind.

He picture below shows a container that Tim uses to freeze water:

Alja [10]

You have a formula : $V= \pi r^2h$ . You just have to apply it. It would gives :

$V= \pi (2)^2(8)$
$V=32 \pi$
$V=100.48cm^3$

Now, use your mind. How many would be needed to make 2000 cm3.

$\frac{2000}{100.48}$
$=19.94 = 20$

Therefore <span>the minimum number of identical containers that Tim would need to make 2,000 cm3 of ice is 20 (option D).

Hope this helps !
