Ocean currents have an affect on which two things
What do we call the constantly moving system of deep-ocean circulation driven by differences in temperature and salinity?
Salt water is _____________ fresh water.
As the temperature of ocean water changes from 10 to 30 degrees C, how does the density change?
What factors create deep ocean currents?
Which of the following drives global thermohaline (conveyor belt) circulation?
What is the upward movement of cold water from the ocean depths called?
Imagine two planets. Planet A is completely covered by an ocean, and has an overall average albedo of 10%. Planet B is blanketed by clouds, and has an overall average albedo of 80%. Which planet reflects more sunlight back into space?
Order these three surfaces - grasslands, fresh snow, and asphalt from highest albedo to lowest albedo.
How does the earth's decreasing Albedo contribute to global warming? Explain exactly how albedo is causing global warming.
In class we learned about the possiblity of slowing of deep water currents. What would be the main cause of the slowing?
