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.

All solutions<br>are mixtures; but<br>all mixtures are<br>not solutions.<br>why?​
aleksklad [387]

All solutions are mixtures of two or more substances, but unless the mixture has a homogeneous distribution of solutes in the solvent, then the mixture is not a solution. Therefore, all mixtures are not solutions.

How did atomic theory develop and change?
Agata [3.3K]
The atomic theory started with Democritus, who stated that all space was made up of indivisible particles called atoms, though Aristotles refuted that statement by saying that matter didn’t exist, he believed in the four elements: air, fire, water, and earth. Then came Dalton, who revived Democritus’s ideas and proposed the law of multiple proportions, he revived the idea that all space was made of atoms. Soon after, J.J Thompson discovered the electron by using cathode rays. Max Planck developed the quantum theory by stating that electromagnetic radiation could only be emitted in quantized form (later called quanta). Einstein furthered this idea with studies of light. Robert Millikan eventually measured the charge of a single electron. Ernest Rutherford used a gold foil experiment and discovered the nuclei, considering his alpha particles were deflected by some object. Niels Bohr made the atomic model with electrons spinning around an atom’s nucleus, Erwin Schrodinger describes how electrons have wave like properties. James Chadwick then discovers the neutron!

There ya have it!
