answers A+ rated
It would reduce the amount of warm water flowing into Europe from the Gulf of Mexico, thus
causing colder temperatures. - correct answer ✔✔Explain how shutting down thermohaline
circulation would affect the temperature of western Europe?
Colder temperatures would cause a shorter growing season and thus reduce the production of
the crops. - correct answer ✔✔Explain the consequences such a temperature change might
have for agriculture in western Europe.
Because surface currents separate from each other, in the process of upwelling the deep waters
rise and replace the water that moved. The deep water brings nutrients from the oceans that
support large populations of fish, so the fish would then move where these producers would be.
- correct answer ✔✔Explain why there would be large populations of fish along the west coasts
of most continents.
It would decrease the amount of nutrients flowing into the world's oceans. - correct answer
✔✔Explain how shutting down thermohaline circulation would affect the transport of nutrients
among the oceans of the worlds.
Because they have the warmest temperatures. The Hadley Cells are driven by sunlight, so they
release a lot of precipitation at the intertropical convergence zone. Warm temperatures and wet
air both play into the growth of tropical rainforests. - correct answer ✔✔Explain why the
regions of the world that receive the most direct sunlight contain tropical rainforests.
The intertropical zone has thunderstorms. Because it passes over the equator twice, which
results in to seasons of high rainfall and two seasons of little rainfall. - correct answer
✔✔Describe the role that the movement of the ITCZ over the year plays in creating seasonal
forests in tropical regions.
