The diagram shows the thermohaline circulation, also know as the ocean's conveyor belt.
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

The statement that is true about red currents in the thermohaline circulation is that  water in the red currents contain less salt (option A).

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation is a concept used in oceanography, referring to the oceanic circulation that depends on factors such as surface heat and salinity, as well as the density gradient that they determine.

On a map, the different currents that are part of the thermohaline circulation are usually represented with blue and red lines, where:

  • <em>The blue lines represent deep, cold, dense and higher salinity currents.</em>
  • <em>The red lines represent surface currents, warm, with less salt content, so they are less dense.</em>

The red currents (see image) represented on the map have less salt content, compared to the currents represented in blue.

Explain why you can see the Moon.<br><br><br> Science
Ghella [55]

Answer:We see the Moon because sunlight reflects back to us from its surface. During the course of a month, the Moon circles once around the Earth. If we could magically look down on our solar system, we would see that the half of the Moon facing the Sun is always lit. But the lit side does not always face the Earth. As the Moon circles the Earth, the amount of the lit side we see changes. These changes are known as the phases of the Moon and it repeats in a certain way over and over.
