Biology
1 answer:
marshall27 [118]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Thermohaline circulation is influenced by changes in density gradients. These density gradients are affected by the salinity and temperature of the ocean’s water. Cold water is denser than warm water and salt water is denser than freshwater. As water cools off, it sinks. As water evaporates, the salt concentration of the remaining water increases because the salt from the evaporated water remains. This causes the water to sink and circulate.

____ happens when a lineage splits into two or more lines of descent.
Evgesh-ka [11]

When a lineage splits into multiple line of descents, then, it leads to speciation. It is a process by which a single population evolves into different species.  The process of speciation leads to the development of two or more species as  the lineages are splitted. These two evolved species are genetically independent.

Hence, the blank can be filled with 'speciation'.

Is air pollution from a factory a change to an organism’s abiotic environment or biotic environment?
egoroff_w [7]
Abiotic

An ecosystem involves both the biological (plants, animals, human beings) and non-biological (land, water, soil, and atmosphere) community which interacts as a system. More importantly, the living things are very dependent on the abiotic community since it cannot survive by itself. Every animal, plant and human needs the primary physiological needs of water, food and shelter provided by the abiotic system.  <span>
