Thermohaline currents are influenced by wind. True or false?

Chemistry
1 answer:
tresset_1 [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

The under-water deep ocean currents that are generated due to the differences in the water density are generally termed as the thermohaline circulation. It is mainly controlled by the two factors namely the temperature and the salinity. The word 'thermohaline' is directly derived from the temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline).

This thermohaline circulation is considered as the oceanic conveyor belt that allows the water to move under the surface of water at certain depths from the equator to the poles and back from the poles to the equator.

Thus, it is directly associated with the density of the water. It has no relation with the wind.

Hence, the above statement is False.

Which statement is true because of newtons second law ?
katrin2010 [14]
Newton's second law, by definition, states that, <span> The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Therefore, based on the given options above, the correct answer would be option D: </span><span>when the net force on an object decreases, the objects acceleration decreases.</span>

Briefly explain the observed effect of the acetylcholine concentration on the rate of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction
Goryan [66]
<h2>Increase of reaction rate</h2>

Explanation:

  • It is observed that when the concentration of acetylcholine remains constant in the reaction of an aqueous solution, the speed of the enzyme-catalyzed reaction or the formation of the product increases with increasing concentrations of substrate.
  • The reaction rate is directly proportional to the concentration of acetylcholine.  
  • At very low concentrations of acetylcholine, there is a small increase in the concentration of the substrate which results in a large increase of the rate in reaction.
