Question

1. _______when wind allows cold dense water to rise from the bottom of the ocean to the surface.

2. _______Earth's tilt.
3. _______water that moves because of its temperature and salt content.
4. _______predictable variations of Earth's orbit and tilt that can affect climate.
5. _______the shape of Earth's orbit about the Sun; can change from a more elliptical to a more circular path and back.
6. _______movement of Earth's imaginary, rotating, polar axis.

Answer 1

• upwelling
• obliquity
• thermohaline circulation
• Milankovitch cycles
• eccentricity
• precession

Step-by-step explanation:

• Upwelling is a process of the winds that drives away the warm water from the surface and bring up the cold and dense water from below.

• Obliquity is the nature of the axial tilt of the earth i.e 23.5 ° Due to the equator bulge and other properties of the earth.

• The thermohaline circulation is the global circulation of the waster that is created by the gradient flow of the surface heat and the freshwater influxes.

• Milankovitch cycles are the effect of the changes in the earth's movements in climatic patterns over a thousands of years period.

• Eccentricity is the orbital rotation of the earth around the sun on its axis and has more of a circular elliptical path.

• The precession is the change in the orientation of the axial tilt of the planet in reference to the rotating body.
