A. Earth radiates mostly infrared light

B. Ultraviolet light cannot transmit through the atmosphere

C. Earth radiates mostly visible light

D. Visible light can escape the atmosphere

It’s “ A “

moderate temperatures and strong gravity (APEX)

As waves approach the shore, interaction with the sea floor slows the waves down and the crests of the waves bunch up. They increase in height as the energy in each wave compresses into a shorter horizontal distance, but the period of the wave does not change. Eventually, the waves break.

wave period

Cold water sinks, while warm water rises.

Along cold water currents from the poles to the equator.

Gravity

The trade winds weaken, or even blow backwards.

Conductivity can be used to calculate the salinity of the water.

density

This force is called capillary action.

One factor that could account for a drop in the water table is temperature. If temperatures are too warm the water may be evaporating.

spring

the cause is the heat forming in the center of the ocean . the effect is simply la nina

Ocean temperatures off the west coast of South America decrease.

The sunlight zone. Most animal and plant life use the sun to stay alive. The most plant life is found here. There is life in all zones in the ocean but the sunlight zone has the most.

By using information about the temperature and salinity of ocean water oceangraphers can describe the?
