<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>The oceans of the world slowly mix and are really one ocean</u> because of thermohaline circulation and other currents.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Thermohaline circulation describes deep water currents which accounts for 90% of the ocean and their movement is due to gravity and density-driven forces. It is also influenced by the horizontal difference in salinity and temperature.

The movement of these water current is very slow; the water transports nutrients, heat, solids, and other material a great distance. It also drives warmer surface water. Thermohaline circulation occurs at deep ocean basins at the slow rate of 1 cm per second and it is influenced by convective currents which displace the water of different temperatures.

Lena [83]

Answer:

1. Endangered Species conservation

2. Air Pollution

3. Destruction of Coral Reefs

Explanation:

"Asia sits almost entirely in the tropics, and as such, is covered in rich, dense, biologically diverse jungle." Poachers, large companies exploiting land, small farms,(Etc), have always been a large factor of how hard it is to conserve the endangered species.

Small farms and large companies burn fires trying to clear land of trees(among other things.) So that then they can exploit the land the following year.

Over the past several decades, Asia's famous coral reefs have always been in dismay. This is the result of several factors like; 1. The ocean absorbs most of the carbon dioxide we put into the atmosphere each year. While this helps reduce the effects of global warming (temporarily), it also means that more of that carbon is going to be converted into carbonic acid, increasing the ocean’s acidity level.
