Answer:The drag from wind holds the responsibility for driving ocean waves in addition to the surface tension.

Explanation:

The ocean currents at the first 100 m of its surface is moved by the wind drag. Whereas, the ocean currents flowing below the thousand meters of its surface are driven by water's density gradient, which is governed by thermohaline circulation, 'thermo' means temperature and 'haline' means salinity. The centrifugal force has no role to do in driving the ocean current in its surface and earth's rotation causes the Coriolis effect which is an example of hurricane winds.

hope this helps :D

Atmospheric pressure yesterday was given as 0.875 atm. Express this pressure in units of torr and also in kilopascals (kPa), res

Aneli [31]

This problem is about conversion and dimensional analysis. Important information to know:
1 atm = 760 torr = 101.325 kPa

For atm to torr conversion:

0.875 atm * (760 torr / 1 atm) = 665 torr

For atm to kPa conversion:

0.875 atm * (101.325 kPa / atm) = 88.7 kPa

Thus the answer is b) 665 torr and 88.7 kPa

Which measurement, temperature or volume, limits the precision of the data obtained in the experiment? explain?

GrogVix [38]

The answer is volume that is volume limits the precision of data obtained in an experiment .

As while pouring of the liquids, we control the volume, but it can have been off. And this could results in the wrong mole to mole ratio.Thus it limits the precision, So the answer is that volume limits the precision of data obtained in an experiment .
