In addition to surface tension what's responsible for driving ocean waves

Chemistry
1 answer:
Delvig [45]2 years ago
8 0

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

I<br> 3. In words, explain what occurs in terms of electrons when<br> beryllium reacts with oxygen
Drupady [299]

Explanation:

On the whole, the metals burn in oxygen to form a simple metal oxide. Beryllium is reluctant to burn unless it is in the form of dust or powder. Beryllium has a very strong (but very thin) layer of beryllium oxide on its surface, and this prevents any new oxygen getting at the underlying beryllium to react with it

Hypothermic body temperature can range from 28.7 °C to 35.5 °C. What is this range in degrees Fahrenheit?
Amanda [17]
Solution:

To convert Celsius to Fahrenheit, the formula to be used is (C * 9/5) + 32

So in our given, 28.7 degrees Celsius:

Farenheit = (28.7 * 9/5) + 32
= 51.66 + 32
= 83.66 degrees Fahrenheit

Next, 35.5 degrees Celsius:
Farenheit = (35.5 * 9/5) + 32
= 63.9 + 32
= 95.9 degrees Fahrenheit

So in Fahrenheit, the range would be 83.66 – 95.9 degrees Fahrenheit.
