Petroleum is a mixture of hydrocarbons. Each hydrocarbon consists of carbon and hydrogen atoms. A hydrocarbon contains carbon chain and its boiling and melting points increase with increase in length of the carbon chain. The length of the carbon chain increases with increase in the number of carbon atoms forming bonds. Therefore, the boiling point of hydrocarbon increases with increase in the number of carbon atoms.
(Answer) (2) increase in the number of carbon atoms.

Answer:
B. Density
Explanation:
The remaining three affect surface currents.
<u>Continental deflections</u>: The continents that rise above sea level cause the surface currents to change direction.
<u>Coriolis effect</u>: This is the deflection of wind and ocean currents due to the Earth’s rotation.
<u>Winds</u>: These are the wind patterns that circulate the warm and cold air around the globe.
In fluid dynamics, the wave height of a surface wave is the difference between the elevations of a crest and a neighbouring trough. Wave height is a term used by mariners, as well as in coastal, ocean and naval engineering.
