Answer: : Is the main transporter of heat in the ocean

Explanation:

Oceans have warm salty water on the surface and cold less salty water in the depth and these two regions don’t mix. The ocean currents are mostly driven by winds on the surface. The water at the depth does not get influenced by surface winds but the main driving force is the density differences due to temperature and salt contents. The dense salty waters sink to the bottom while the less salty water floats.  

The large scale ocean circulation due to density gradients and freshwater fluxes is thermohaline circulation. The water currents from the Atlantic ocean travels towards the Poles by the wind currents that gets cooled on route and sinks at high latitudes. Due to this, the water is dense and flows into the ocean basin. It transports energy and matter around the globe. This impacts the climate of earth.

On the basis of the above explanation is:  

The thermohaline circulation belt-  is the main transporter of heat in the ocean

zysi [14]

Answer: D) Stereotyping

Choice A is false because this involves denying a person to do something based on factors such as religion, race, ethnicity, etc.

Choice B is false because this term involves a crime or suspected crime being committed, or about to be committed. And it also makes the assumption based on a person's race.

Choice C is false since segregation is the separation of people usually by race or ethnicity. Though you could have class based segregation (eg: rich vs poor) and other forms.

Choice D is true because stereotyping is where you lump a bunch of people together based on cultural or societal assumptions. Usually it's in the form of "all ___ people do such and such" where you fill in the blank with a specific race or culture.
