Answer:

<u>Depth</u>

Explanation:

The ocean has three layers from the top to bottom containing different temperatures. The first layer is of warm oceanic water approximately 500 m think containing temperatures of about 20 degrees Celsius to 25 degrees Celsius. The second layer is the thermocline layer characterized by a decreasing temperature with increased depth. The last layer is that of very cold temperature that extends to the deep ocean floor. There are other factors which affect the distribution of temperature of ocean water which include: latitudes, unequal distribution of land and water, prevailing wind and ocean currents.

Answer:

The following factors affect the distribution of temperature of ocean water: (1) Latitudes: The temperature of surface water decreases from equator towards the poles because the sun’s rays become more and more slanting and thus the amount of insolation decreases poleward accordingly.

Answer:

Explanation: It depends can the electricity be produced with solar power

or wind power. If fossil fuels are only way to replace power produced by

hydroelectric power, it is not advisable not to take it off production.

*What is the chemical equation for photosynthesis? What is the reverse of this chemical process called?

mestny [16]

Answer:

The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.

There is one chemical process in biochemistry that has a reversible process. If you remember glycolysis, it actually has a reversible process. This reversible process is called gluconeogenesis. These two processes are reversible in response to glucose concentration in our bodies. When our bodies need energy, glucose breaks down into pyruvate through glycolysis. When our bodies need glucose for storage, pyruvate turns back into glucose through gluconeogenesis. Here are the processes:
