Question 35 1 pts Using the photo below for reference, why is Half Dome shaped like a dome? O pressure release jointing vegetation O frost wedging O lichen O lichen 1 pts Question 36 Match the ocean currents with the correct descriptions. Thermohaline Current [ Choose] Western Boundary Current [Choose] Eastern Boundary Current [Choose] Ocean Gyres [Choose] [Choose Awarm surface current Acircular surface current flow A deep ocean current A cold surface current Question 37 1 pts Could the North Atlantic shut down in a day, like in the film "The Day after Tomorrow?" True O False

Answer 1

Answer to Q 35: a) Pressure release jointing (domes or torrs mostly when granites undergo jointing in the form of domes)

Answer to Q 36: Thermohaline current : A deep ocean current

Western boundary current: A warm surface current (deep, narrow and fast-moving and carry warm water from equator to the poles)

Eastern boundary current: A cold surface current (shallow, broad and slow-flowing which carry cold water from poles towards equator)

Ocean gyres: A circular surface current flow

Answer to Q 37: False (oceans take hundreds to thousands of years to change their pattern of large scale movement, also oceans have high thermal capacit)
