The rotation of earth deflects some of the currents. So if there is not rotation, then the currents will be a lot larger than the ones that we have today.

Answer;

-The currents would only travel north, south, east, and west

The surface currents would be affected if the earth didn't rotate in that the currents would only travel north, south, east, and west.

Explanation;

-Ocean currents can be generated by wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes.

-The Coriolis effect describes how Earth's rotation steers winds and surface ocean currents. This effects causes freely moving objects to appear to move to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. Therefore, without the rotation of the earth, the surface currents would travel, north, south, east and west.

The main function of this macromolecule include muscle development, catalyst activity and defense against disease
Liula [17]

The correct answer is protein.

Proteins are macromolecules composed of amino acids with the wide range of structures. Protein functions are diverse:  

• structural proteins-maintaining the cell shape, (for example, proteins are structural elements in connective tissues like cartilage and bone in vertebrates),  

• Enzymes - catalyze the biochemical reactions in cells-.

•  Monitors- changing their activity in response to metabolic signals

• Part of the extracellular matrix or involved in intercellular communication…

Where is abdominal injury most likely to occur in young children?
Kazeer [188]

Liver

In pediatric patients, the liver and spleen are very large in proportion to the size of the abdominal cavity and are more easily injured. The soft, flexible ribs of infants and young children do not protect these two organs very well and may allow injury to underlying organs, even without fracturing the ribs.
