Answer:

The greatest changes to the path and strength of the Gulf Stream might be caused by an increase in the volume of river water that flows into the Gulf of Mexico (Option B)

Explanation:

The North Atlantic current or Gulf Stream carries warm water from the Gulf of Mexico forward Europe, providing a relative template clime in most of the European occident.

Ocean streams are sensitive to the amount of freshwater available on the surface. An increase in overflow and precipitation over the ocean could slow or revert the north Atlantic current, blocking warm water flow to Europe.

The deposition of freshwater could cause a temporal deceleration or total collapse of the North Atlantic Current, and this interruption might lead to very cold periods in the North Atlantic.

Why are birds that inhabit areas with high acid deposition more likely to lay eggs with thin shells?
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

When it precipitates, the acid in the soil becomes dissolved forming an acidic solution. The low pH solution dissolves the calcium ions in the soil washing them away in runoffs and also leaching them deeper into the soil. This depletes the calcium ions hence making them unavailable to the birds. Calcium intake is important in birds because the ion is a significant component of eggs shells  (makes them strong and not brittle hence the eggs don’t break easily)..
