Answer:

The correct option is: A. Troposphere

Explanation:

The <u>temperature gradient is negative for the ocean</u>. Thus, the <u>temperature of the ocean gradually decreases from the surface</u> up to a certain depth, this region is called thermocline, and then becomes constant.

Similarly, in the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere, the <u>temperature gradient is negative</u>. Thus, the <u>temperature</u> <u>gradually decreases with height</u> till the tropopause and then becomes constant on reaching the stratosphere.

<u>Therefore, the temperature profile or the vertical gradient of temperature of the oceans is similar to that of the troposphere layer of the atmosphere. </u>

Which type of soil can cause lateral movement (water travels sideways) to ditches carrying nutrients with it?
Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

Sandy soil

Explanation:

Water movement in soils is called <em>soil hydrology.</em> The soil texture, the soil structure and gravity affects soil hydrology.

In sandy soil, the particles are largest compared to other types of soils, and these particles are held loosely together.

Water will move laterally in the soil profile if there is enough pore space in that soil (which sandy soils possess). This movement is aided by the capillary action of water in small spaces. The water will bind to the edges of the pores and slowly move laterally and even upward if the voids are small enough.

According to the graph above, the population gap between the United States and Japan is __________. A. widening B. shrinking C.
Rudiy27
The correct answer is - A. widening.

Both of the countries suffer from low fertility rate, Japan little more than the USA. The gap is widening because of the migrations.
- USA is country that is on the top of the list as a destination for migration, and also it is a country that allows big number of migrants in it every year, that contributes to the country's population to become bigger and bigger even though the fertility rate is low.
-Japan the other hand is a country that has both very low fertility rate, and very small amount of migrants coming to live in it, so the number of the population is stagnant for some time now, and is expected to start decreasing quickly in the coming years once the older population is not among the living anymore.

Explain why an object moving in
vazorg [7]

An object moving in  a circle is accelerating, even if it  moves with a constant speed​ because the velocity changes.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The direction of an object changes constantly during its movement in circle at a constant speed. As the direction changes it results in changing the velocity of that object. This happens since velocity  has direction and magnitude.as it is vector quantity.

An object will have acceleration only if a resultant force is acting on that body. When an object is moving in a circle, this resultant force is the centripetal force that is acting towards the center of the circle.
