Answer: C) Warm water at the surface flows toward the poles and sinks as it cools.

Explanation: One of the factors that influence the circulation of ocean water is solar radiation. Most of this radiation is absorbed by the waters in the Equator. Then, said warm water flows towards the poles. While at the same time, cold water comes from the poles and flows towards the Equator. When the two temperatures crash, the cold water absorbs the heat from the warm water. Finally, as the warm water is cooling, it starts to sink, and the cold water starts to rise.

Answer:

Warm water at the surface flows toward the poles and sinks as it cools.

Explanation:

The transfer or movement of heat energy in the atmosphere, hydrosphere, etc takes place due to radiation, convection, and conduction. Convection inc conjunction with the ocean currents move warm water toward the poles and colder water toward the equator which sinks as it cools.

Explain the difference between types of scientific investigation

allsm [11]

Answer:

Hey there.

There are three types of scientific investigations: descriptive, comparative, and experimental scenitific investigations.

fist we have Descriptive scientific investigations.

Descriptive investigations use careful observations and measurements to develop findings.

Then we have  comparative Investigation.

comparative investigations Involve collecting data on different populations/organisms, under different conditions (Times of year, locations), to make a comparison. for Example, Using a hand lens to examine the color and texture of four different rocks.

Lastly we have experimental scientific investigations.

Experimental investigations involve a process in which a "fair test" is designed and variables are actively manipulated, controlled,

Since a bright light causes one to blink reflexively, the light would be best described as a(n):

Rufina [12.5K]

The light would be best described as AN UNCONDITIONED STIMULUS.
An unconditioned stimulus refers to any stimulus which naturally evokes a response from the affected person. The response that is evoked is termed unconditioned response. In the question given above, the light is the unconditioned stimulus while the blinking is the unconditioned response.

In a small cramped kitchen, you and some friends are preparing a spaghetti dinner. the water is boiling and the pasta is now ready to be carried to the sink to drain. you pick up the pot of bubbling pasta water and start in the direction of the sink. the pot holder slips slightly, causing the water to splash onto your arm. the scalding water burns your forearm. you are experiencing a lot of pain, with a red, blistering burn on your arm.

The appropriate first response will be to cool the affected arm under running water and application of ice pack. The cold temperatures will lower the pain that is being felt.
