Answer: The correct answer is Option B.

Explanation:

Convection process is one of the mode of heat transfer. In this process heat transfer takes place when there is a movement of fluid (liquid or gas).

Convection occurs in ocean currents due to the heat up of oceanic waters  making it less dense. This water travel above the cooler water and thus give off its heat to the environment surrounding it. As the water cools, it then starts  to sink, and the process continues.

Convection results due to the continual circulation of ocean water. In simpler terms, warm water rises up and cold water moves in to replace it.

Hence, the correct option is B.

Mkey [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

α = (ωf - ωi)/t

acceleration phase

ωf = 132 rev/min (2π rad/rev / 60 s/min) = 4.4π rad/s

α₁ = (4.4π - 0)/20 = 0.22π rad/s²

α₂ = (0 - 4.4π)/40 = - 0.11π rad/s²

α₁/α₂ = 0.22π/- 0.11π = -2

Distribution intensity is commonly divided into three levels:
gregori [183]
It is indeed divided into Intensive, exclusive, and selective disribution. let me explain them. When we talk about Intesive distribution we say that we have a strategy that is designed to place products in as many outlets as possible. The exclusive distribution is when we recognize policy by granting exclusive geographic territories to one or very few retail customers so no other retailers in the territory can sell a particular brand. And when we talk about selective distribution we know that it <span>lies in between the intensive and exclusive distribution strategies because it uses a few selected customers in a territory</span>
