The world’s ocean is crucial to heating the planet. While land areas and the atmosphere absorb some sunlight, the majority of the sun’s radiation is absorbed by the ocean. Particularly in the tropical waters around the equator, the ocean acts a as massive, heat-retaining solar panel. Earth’s atmosphere also plays a part in this process, helping to retain heat that would otherwise quickly radiate into space after sunset.
The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds, often vast distances. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area. Outside of Earth’s equatorial areas, weather patterns are driven largely by ocean currents. Currents are movements of ocean water in a continuous flow, created largely by surface winds but also partly by temperature and salinity gradients, Earth’s rotation, and tides (the gravitational effects of the sun and moon). Major current systems typically flow clockwise in the northern hemisphere and counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere, in circular patterns that often trace the coastlines. Ocean currents act much like a conveyer belt, transporting warm water and precipitation from the equator toward the poles and cold water from the poles back to the tropics. Thus, currents regulate global climate, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiation reaching Earth’s surface. Without currents, regional temperatures would be more extreme—super hot at the equator and frigid toward the poles—and much less of Earth’s land would be habitable.
Answer: migrantes estão no caminho e não se sabe do estatus deles {exilados, fugitivos etc etc} e nem sempre sabemos o objetivo, ponto final ou destino deles. Imigrantes são pessoas que acabaram de chegar no país que lhes recebeu (expressao "imigrantes" descreve a perspectiva dos habitantes do pais que lhes recebeu). Emigrantes sao aqueles que abandonam o país (expressao "emigrantes" descreve a perspectiva do habitantes do país de origem).
Explanation: As três palavras tem significado diferente e sempre requerem compreensao. Migrante está no caminho, imigrantes está chegando ou já chegou, emigrante está abandonando o pais de origem.
They have a Dictatorship, because their Government controls all factories, businesses, what you do, and where you go.
Answer: I think it is A
Explanation: There are millions of lakes in the world. They are found on every continent and in every kind of environment—in mountains and deserts, on plains, and near seashores.
