What function do the wind-driven currents play in the transport of heat energy in the oceans?

1 answer:

7 0

Wind driven currents create in the equatorial and warm zones of the earth’s oceans. The currents then transmit the warm water north, where the heat in the water is misplaced to the colder atmosphere. In the instance of the Gulf Stream, this transmission of heat to the air warms up England and Europe.
As the water cools, its' density upsurges because of chilling and increasing salinity. This cold water drops to the bottom of the ocean, where it is then stimulated by another current back south, similar to a train creating a big circuit.

Lisa [10]

We can use the equation E = k | Q | r 2 E = k | Q | r2 to find the magnitude of the electric field. The direction of the electric field is determined by the sign of the charge,

<h3>What is electric and magnetic field ?</h3>

With the use of electricity and other types of artificial and natural illumination, invisible energy fields known as electric and magnetic fields (EMFs) and radiation are created.

While the magnetic field is discernible by the force it exerts on other magnetic particles and moving electric charges, the electric field is actually the force per unit charge experienced by a non-moving point charge at any given location inside the field.

Which wave must have a medium to travel?

o-na [289]

Letter B

without a medium, there is nothing to compress, hence, no wave. A fast- medium like a gas (air) is easy to compress and allows waves to move through it easily. a slow medium, like a liquid, is still pretty fast, but not as fast as air.

a bike is moving with a velocity of 90km/hr.after applying break it stops in 5 sec. calculate the force applied by brakes .mass

pentagon [3]

Explanation:

initial velocity(u) = 90 km/s = 25 m/s

time (t) = 5 sec

mass (m) = 200 kg

final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

v = u + at

0 = 25 + a * 5
