How are thermohaline currents tied to the atmosphere and how can these currents affect climate variations in the future?
Homework Answers
ans: The Ocean current acts much like a conveyor belt, and transporting the warm water & precipitation from the equator towards the poles & also the cold water from poles back to the tropics. Thus, ocean currents regulate global climate this way, helping to counteract the uneven distribution of solar radiations reaching the Earth's surface.

Q3.27. Over long time scales the solubility-temperature feedback (below), can affect climate. An increase in atmospheric CO2 concentrations increases the greenhouse effect and causes temperatures to rise. As ocean temperatures rise, the solubility of CO2 decreases. As a result, CO2 is released from the oceans to the atmosphere, strengthening the greenhouse effect and causing temperatures to rise further. What type of feedback is this? Water Temperature CO2 Greenhouse Effect Solubility +CO A positive feedback that amplifies climate change A positive...

Incorrect Question 3 0/1 pts How do whales affect climate change? They burp up lots of methane, which functions as a powerful greenhouse gas. Their fins stir up the water, which mixes carbon dioxide into the sea. They fertilize and aerate plankton, which sequesters carbon and takes it to the ocean floor. They eat lots of plankton, which releases carbon into the atmosphere. Show transcribed image text
