"Ocean currents result from two processes: the wind on the surface of the water and variation in water temperature and density.

These ocean currents are convection currents. Under the tropical sun, water at the equator warms up. At the frigid poles, seawater cools down and sinks. Convection cells are set up with warm water moving along the surface to the poles and deep cold water flowing toward the equator. Changes in the density of ocean waters, caused by changes in salinity re also important in the formation of ocean currents. Ice formation near the poles leaves salt behind in the remaining water. This denser, more saline water sinks, creating its own density-driven currents. Surface winds also set surface currents into motion."
Can you pick the statements that accurately describe oceans currents? Check all the statements that are true.

'Both the wind and solar energy influence ocean currents.'
'Warm water flows away from the equator toward the poles.'
'As the salinity of ocean water increases, density decreases.'
'Cold water sinks, warm water rises, creating a convection current.'

'The more salinity the denser the water is. For the last statement that is meant as a trick question as the paragraph above describes cold water sinking and warm water rising it says "<span>Convection cells are set up with warm water moving along the surface to the poles and deep cold water flowing toward the equator." see the problem here this choice is too vague while the other two are exactly what was in the paragraph so the correct answers are </span>Both the wind and solar energy influence ocean currents.' Warm water flows away from the equator toward the poles.'

Which advancement in technology has helped cut down on waste?
lana66690 [7]

Ans.

Paper waste prevention is defined as a practice to reduce or eliminate use of paper, which is potential for the efficient use or disposal of paper. It decreases the environmental impacts due to both paper manufacturing and paper recycling, such as demands on forest resources).

Use of advance technologies, such as E-mail (electronic mail) can help in cut down on paper waste. Nowadays, E-mail has replaced conventional letters and faxes as it is more eco-friendly than letters and faxes, which needs paper consumption.

Thus, the correct answer is 'option d). E-mail.'

Tresset [83]

The statement that best supports that belief is “both have cell wall made of cellulose, store food material as starch, and have chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b”.

 

The green algae are a large, informal grouping of algae consisting of the Chlorophyte and Charophyte algae, which are now placed in separate Divisions. The land plants or Embryophytes are thought to have emerged from the Charophytes.

 

The correct answer between all the choices given is the first choice or letter A. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
