The curved circulation of surface currents is caused by the <span>Earth's rotation.
</span><span>The 'Coriolis Effect' describes how Earth's rotation steers winds and surface currents (Figure 14.14). The Earth is a sphere that spins on its axis in a counterclockwise direction when seen from the North Pole. The further towards one of the poles you move from the equator, the shorter the distance around the Earth. This means that objects on the equator move faster than objects further from the equator. While wind or an ocean current moves, the Earth is spinning underneath it. As a result, an object moving north or south along the Earth will appear to move in a curve, instead of in a straight line. Wind or water that travels toward the poles from the equator is deflected to the east, while wind or water that travels toward the equator from the poles gets bent to the west. The Coriolis Effect bends the direction of surface currents.</span><span>

Answer:
b. a theory
Explanation:
A theory is said to be a well structured explanation of a result in particular field of study. A theory tend to follow series of steps in an attempt to explain a result ;
Hypothesis : This is said to be a knowledgeable guess in the field of sciences.
Observation : The scientist engage in thorough study or observation of the experiment or facts he wants to establish.
Experiments : The scientist engage in series of experiments to back up his fact and observation.
A theory is propounded if it is testable . The theory must have passed through a series of scientific research to become an establish facts. It must pass numerous scientific investigation and often involving contribution from well meaning scientist in that domain. The theory must be simple , precise and express-able so it can be repeated by other scientist. This established fact should not contradict previous principles or theory but instead expand and agree with others.
The Earthquake epicenter is located next to the Japanese islands, as it is seen and labeled on the picture.
The tectonic plate that is to the right and below the epicenter is the Pacific Plate- this is easy to see on the picture.
The plate to the left is a little more confusing, but if you look closely, it is the Okhotsk plate- you know this because there are no boundaries between the name of the plate and the epicenter.

Why are we living longer now? Well during the Industrial revolution we made a significant reduction in the amount of deaths by increasing in food production and distribution, improving public health (mainly water and sanitation), and as for medical technology, we made vaccines and antibiotics. Modern medicine prospers every day, being able to cure almost any disease. Because of all of this we gradually started living longer. Back in 1950, life expectancy was 68.2 years old. Nowadays, that
number has risen to 79.12 years old and is expected to increase up to
83.9 years old by the year 2050.
