If a city is growing what will happen to its nighttime temperatures?
The temperatures will increase slowly due to the pollution increase.
Why could an increase in greenhouse gases in the atmosphere cause global temperatures to rise?
more heat can be trapped in the atmosphere...
Can ash cause global temperatures to rise?
ash cannot cause global temperatures to rise. At least not all the time
What can rising temperatures cause?
high temperatures can sometimes set fires where dry grass is located. it can cause drouts where there is no water. it evaporates water as well
Does global warming effect the land or the ocean more?
The ocean is in more danger than the land is as ocean currents control most of the land temperatures, so the ocean is effecting gobal warming more.
What are the deep ocean currents?
These currents make up 90% of the ocean waters.These waters move around the ocean basins due to variations in the density and gravity.Deep waters sinks into the deep ocean basins at high latitudes , where the temperatures are cold enough to cause the density to increase.
What is the cause of rising surface temperatures of the Pacific Ocean?
la nina
How does the temperature affect the circulation of the ocean?
Higher temperatures in the polar regions can increase sea levels by melting more ice. In the ocean, increased temperatures result in greater evaporation and can therefore increase precipitation over both the ocean and the land.
Could a significant increase in sea organism population cause an increase in ocean level?
Not by much
What can causes a increase in the density of the ocean water?
the amount of salinity in the water and high temperatures
What increases the temperature of the worlds oceans?
The temperatures of the world's oceans are increase by not only SOME of the heat rays from the sun but also from the winds that fly over the oceans. The winds carry hot (or cold) currents that fluxuate the temperatures of the water beneath it.
Which statement best explains how global warming may lead to an increase in the number and intensity of hurricanes?
Global warming may lead to an increase in the number and intensity of hurricanes because warmer ocean temperatures provide more energy for storm formation. Additionally, global warming can lead to changes in atmospheric conditions that favor the development and intensification of hurricanes.
Do cold seas cause stronger hurricanes?
Hurricane strength and frequency is generally associated with warmer ocean temperatures.
Does the Atlantic or Pacific ocean have the highest temperatures?
It depends on what part cause they can be cold and warm, depends on where you are, if your close to the equator or not
What can cause an increase in density of ocean water?
salt a decrease in temperature and an increasue in salinity
What can cause the increase in the density of ocean water?
salt a decrease in temperature and an increasue in salinity
Can cause an increase in the density of the ocean water?
salt a decrease in temperature and an increasue in salinity
