Answer:

Nuclear is reliable.

Nuclear plants are the most efficient source of electricity, operating 24/7 at a more than 93 percent average capacity factor. ... That's more than two times the capacity factor of any other carbon-free source. During the 2019 polar vortex, U.S. plants operated at more than 98 percent capacity.

On the other hand, Wind is not as effective as some countries have little to no wind, especially the hot arab or african countries.

Some disadvantages are:

The wind is inconsistent.

Wind turbines involve high upfront capital investment.

Wind turbines have a visual impact.

May reduce the local bird population.

Wind turbines are prone to noise disturbances.

Installation can take up a significant portion of land.

Wind turbines can be a safety hazard.

Nuclear:

Expensive to Build. Despite being relatively inexpensive to operate, nuclear power plants are incredibly expensive to build—and the cost keeps rising.

Accidents.

Produces Radioactive Waste.

Impact on the Environment.

Security Threat.

Limited Fuel Supply.

However, both are at least better than fossil fuels as they are renewable.

1. _______when wind allows cold dense water to rise from the bottom of the ocean to the surface.
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

  • upwelling
  • obliquity
  • thermohaline circulation
  • Milankovitch cycles
  • eccentricity
  • precession

Explanation:

  • Upwelling is a process of the winds that drives away the warm water from the surface and bring up the cold and dense water from below.
  • Obliquity is the nature of the axial tilt of the earth i.e 23.5 ° Due to the equator bulge and other properties of the earth.
  • The thermohaline circulation is the global circulation of the waster that is created by the gradient flow of the surface heat and the freshwater influxes.
  • Milankovitch cycles are the effect of the changes in the earth's movements in climatic patterns over a thousands of years period.
  • Eccentricity is the orbital rotation of the earth around the sun on its axis and has more of a circular elliptical path.
  • The precession is the change in the orientation of the axial tilt of the planet in reference to the rotating body.
