Answer:

Earth rotation= Surface currents (coriolis effect)

Both temperature and difference in water density cause DEEP ocean currents

Near top is obviously surface ocean

Near ocean floor= Deep

and there isnt wind in the water is it? So Wind= Surface ocean

Answer: This is What drives ocean currents

- Surface is primarily driven by wind (friction from wind transfers energy and momentum to surface water)

- Deep is slower, driven primarily by density (salinity and temperature) differences

- Thermocline: dramatic temp drop 50 m from surface bc sun can't shine

- Halocline: dramatic gradient in saline, increase as it deepens

- Pycnocline: resulting change in density (50-1000)

You would need two plants at the least, one that you kept out side of sunlight and one in sunlight. I don't know how you would figure out how much Carbon Dioxide is used but the plant in the sunlight i believe would be the control. <span />

Answer:

Deserts

Explanation:

Based on the data table, we would expect deserts to have the greatest changes in temperatures during a 24-hour period. There is little water or vegetation containing water in desert areas. The data shows the greatest increase and decrease in temperatures to be in the cups of sand.
