Evaporation of ocean water and formation of sea ice both increase the salinity of the ocean water.

Answer:

Evaporation

Explanation:

The process by which water changes its state from liquid to gaseous is known as evaporation.
Evaporation is the process that contributes to increased salinity of the ocean.
The process of evaporation removes water and hence as the water level decreases due to the rise of water vapor into the atmosphere, more salt is left behind in lesser water, thus increasing the salinity.

Answer:

1000 times.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the pH is defined by:

$pH=-log([H^+])$

If we want to compute the concentration of hydrogen we must write:

$[H^+]=10^{-pH}$

Thus, for both the backyard soils we compute:

$[H^+]_{pH=7}=10^{-7}=1x10^{-7}M$

$[H^+]_{pH=4}=10^{-4}=1x10^{-4}M$

It means that:

$\frac{[H^+]_{pH=4}}{[H^+]_{pH=7}} =\frac{1x10^{-4}M}{1x10^{-7}M}\\ \\\frac{[H^+]_{pH=4}}{[H^+]_{pH=7}}=1000$

It means that the concentration of hydrogen at a pH of 4 is 1000 times greater than the concentration of hydrogen at a pH of 7.

Regards.

tia_tia [17]

The Cambrian Period marks an important point in the history of life on Earth; it is the time when most of the major groups of animals first appear in the fossil record. This event is sometimes called the "Cambrian Explosion," because of the relatively short time over which this diversity of forms appears

The best answer in this case is C, "the researchers applied creativity to solve a problem in running an experiment".

Distributing the computing load across the global community by sharing processing power is a creative response to tackle the challenge in simulating protein folding for the experiment. This does not change or reduce the scientific merits of the experiment, so we can discount the first two answers (a & b). Answer d talks about well established scientific techniques, although the question wasn't really centered around the specific techniques, so it's not as relevant an answer as C.
