What role do currents play in transporting heat? How does water temperature affect land nearby?

1 answer:

When warm currents move over cool land surface, they dissipate heat due to the temperature gradient . They hence warm up the land they blow over. If a cold current blows over warm land, the land loses heat to the current. This is how currents distribute heat across the earth.

When the current blow from water to land, the current will be warm or cold depending on the water temperatures. Therefore, they will warm up or cool the adjacent land mass.

MgCl2
Mg = magnesium
Cl = chlorine

Magnesium + chlorine = magnesium chloride.

This is because compounds are always written with the METAL FIRST and the NON METAL SECOND. the non metal ends in - ide when it reacts with a metal.

So ur answer would be magnesium chloride. :)

Answer:

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes such as the Hubble telescope.

Explanation:

Dark matter and normal matter have been wrenched apart by the tremendous collision of two large clusters of galaxies.

The above observations have provided the strongest evidence yet that most of the matter in the universe is dark.
