Answer:

Depth and location affect ocean water’s temperature.

Explanation:

The main source of heat for the oceans is solar radiation. That is, water is basically heated by the radiation of the Sun, which transmits energy to the surface. The ocean absorbs this energy and stores it. Seawater has high caloric capacity. This means that more energy and more time is needed to change or increase the water temperature, compared to the air temperature. Similarly, once the ocean heats up, it takes a long time for the water to completely release or lose that heat.

The temperature decreases to greater depth, because the amount of solar radiation is reduced. On the contrary, it is greater where there is greater energy or heat content.

The closer a place is to the equator, the solar energy will affect more vertically and with more intensity on it, so the warmer the temperatures will be. The further that point of the equator is found, the solar energy will reach it with a smaller angle. And if the point is near the poles, the sun's rays will arrive at a very small angle. This causes the temperature of the water of the oceans to vary depending on the earth's latitude, being higher in areas close to the equator and the tropics, and colder the closer to the poles or the further away from the temperate zones.

Calcium forms ions with a charge of +2. Iodine forms ions with a charge of -1. Which of the following would represent an ionic c
astra-53 [7]

 The   formula that would represent an ionic  compound  that is composed of calcium and iodide ions  is   CaI2

 Explanation

Ionic compound  CaI₂ is formed  when Calcium form cation ( <em>a positively charged ion</em>) by losing 2 electrons while two iodine atoms form  anion ( <em>a negatively charged ion</em>)  by  gaining one electron each.

When writing down   formula of ionic compound, the formula  of cation  is written  first followed by anion  formula. therefore  Ca is written  first  followed by I.

The numeric subscript 2 after I(iodine) indicate that 2 atoms of iodine are involved  in bonding.

Alex

Answer:

A neutral particle made of an electron and hole

Explanation:

Exciton

It is the combination of an electron and a hole ( hole refers to the vacancy of an electron ) . And , as both the electron and the hole have the same charge but the polarity is opposite , the combination will lead to a neutral compound , i.e. ,  Exciton have no charge and so neutral .

It is free to move in the nonmetallic crystal and since it charge less , it is difficult to detect it directly .
