Answer:- Surface is primarily driven by wind (friction from wind transfers energy and momentum to surface water)

- Deep is slower, driven primarily by density (salinity and temperature) differences

- Thermocline: dramatic temp drop 50 m from surface bc sun can't shine

- Halocline: dramatic gradient in saline, increase as it deepens

- Pycnocline: resulting change in density (50-1000)

Which describes a climate effect on the rate of weathering?

tester [92]

Cold climates favor mechanical weathering.

Explanation:

A cold, dry climate will produce the lowest rate of weathering. A warm, wet climate will produce the highest rate of weathering. The warmer a climate is, the more types of vegetation it will have and the greater the rate of biological weathering
