How do deep currents form ???

Chemistry
1 answer:
Fofino [41]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The sinking of large masses of cool water gives rise to the (aka thermohaline circulation), which is derived by <u>density</u> gradients due to variations in the temperature and the <u>salinity</u>. The earth's rotation on its axis also influences deep ocean currents (the high and low tides).

Explanation:

Salinity is the saltiness or amount of salt dissolved in a body of water, called saline water- Dictionary term

Density is the degree of compactness of a substance.- Dictionary term

Hope that helps

When a piece of sodium metal is kept in water in chemical equation​
jekas [21]

Explanation:

Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless basic solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The reaction continues even when the solution becomes basic. The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide.

Your feet get hot walking across a beach. which type of heat transfer is occurring from the sand to your feet?
Andrews [41]
The heat transfer just occurred is mainly conduction.

Conduction happens when two objects are in contact with each other. In the hotter object, the molecules and/or free electrons have a higher kinetic energy, thus they'll travel and collide into other molecules, resulting in spreading the energy to the other object.

The heat transfer happens until thermal equilibrium, where both objects have the same temperature and their molecules have the same kinetic energy rate. 

In addition, radiation is also happening since everything that has a higher temperature than the environment is a net emitter. They release electromagnetic waves that turn out to be radiation. These occur even without the presence of air.

A property is a characteristic of a substance that can be observed and does not change the identity of the substance. T/F
Murljashka [212]
The correct answer is false. The statement given does not describe a property in general. However, it speaks of a specific type of property which is the physical property.  This property is the one that does not change the identity of a substance. A property can also be a chemical property where the identity of a substance is changed.

C= ( F - 32) / 1.8<br> 86 F = ?
egoroff_w [7]

<h3>⇒c =  \frac{f - 32}{1.8}</h3><h3>⇒c =  \frac{86 - 32}{1.8}</h3><h3>⇒c =  \frac{54}{1.8}</h3><h3>⇒c = 30</h3>

<em>Hence</em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>84</em><em>°</em><em>F</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>30</em><em>°</em><em>C</em><em> </em><em>in</em><em> </em><em>Celsius</em><em>.</em><em>.</em>

According to the kinetic-molecular theory, the average kinetic energy of gas
vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

The average kinetic energy of a gas depends only on its temperature.

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of particles in a gas can be found using the equation

\displaystyle \text{Average K.E.} = \frac{3}{2}k\cdot T,

where

  • k is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant, and
  • T is the absolute temperature of this gas (the one in degree Kelvins.)

As seen in this equation, the average kinetic energy of particles in a gas depends only on the temperature of the gas. Also, since the question is asking for the average not the total kinetic energy, the number of particles in this gas doesn't matter, either.
