Answer:
b
Explanation:
The correct answer would be 45.
Assuming that the 10 soils are each represented by A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J.
A can combine with 9 others as: AB AC AD AE A F AG AH AI AJ
B can combine as: BC BD BE BF BG BH BI BJ
C as: CD CE CF CG CH CI CJ
D as: DE DF DG DH DI DJ
E as: EF EG EH EI EJ
F as: FG FH FI FJ
G as: GH GI GJ
H as: HI HJ
I as: IJ
Adding all the combinations together = 45
In other words;
= = 45
Salinity and density share a positive relationship. As density increases, the amount of salts in the water—also known as salinity, increases. Various events can contribute to change in the density of seawater. Salinity can decrease from the melting of polar ice or increase from the freezing of polar ice.
