Answer:

(b) a descending convection current in the Earth's mantle.

Explanation:

We cannot see the deep interior of Earth, but we know from a variety of observations that it is in continuous motion. This is because the mantle convects. This fundamental planetary process has profoundly influenced the character and evolution of Earth.

Mantle convection is the main way heat from Earth's interior is transported to its surface, and this heat escapes principally through mid-ocean ridges. In fact, the connected mid-ocean ridge system is in essence a 80,000 km long volcano.

Heat in the mantle comes from the Earth's molten outer core, decay of radioactive elements and, in the upper mantle, friction from descending tectonic plates. The heat in the outer core results from residual energy from the Earth's formative events and the energy generated by decaying radioactive elements. This heat warms the base of the mantle to an estimated 7,230°F. At the mantle-crust boundary. the mantle's temperature is an estimated 392°F.

What economic ties did Haiti have to the United States at the time?
VashaNatasha [74]

Over the past two hundred years, the United States has played a important role in the economic and political activity of Haiti, its close neighbor to the south. The United States’ refusal to recognize Haiti as a country for sixty years, trade policies, military occupations, and role in Jean-Bertrand Aristide’s removal from Haiti are little known by Americans, but significant for the development, or rather, lack of development in Haiti. https://library.brown.edu/create/modernlatinamerica/chapters/chapter-14-the-united-states-and-latin-america/moments-in-u-s-latin-american-relations/a-history-of-united-states-policy-towards-haiti/

Why are the oceans salty and how does it vary between large water bodies
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

The Oceans are saline or salty because of the several natural occurrences. One of the reason is the rivers because it brings water with minerals by crossing over soil and stones, moving salt along the way, which adds into the oceans, results in salinity by evaporating the water.

Ocean salinity levels can change from place to place. The Mediterranean Sea is saltier. The Atlantic Ocean has access to the freshwater rivers, such as the Amazon which provide less salinity in the ocean.
