3. how is temperature affected when? (a) the depth increases (b)the latitude increases

answer a or b

(A) In case of a water body such as oceans and seas, the temperature decreases with the increasing depth. It is because at higher depths the sunlight is not able to penetrate as a result of which the lower portion of the oceans remains dark and maintains a much colder temperature. But near the surface water layer, sunlight is penetrable so it remains relatively warmer.

In case of subsurface condition i.e. below the earth's surface, the temperature is directly proportional to the depth. The temperature is maximum at the core which is comprised of hot molten materials such as iron, nickel and other siderophile elements. This increase in the temperature with increasing depth is known as the geothermal gradient.

(B) The latitude directly controls the temperature of a particular area. The equatorial region receives maximum amount of sunlight so they experiences relatively very high temperature. As one move towards the poles the temperature gradually drops down and is the minimum at the poles.

a is the answer

explanation:

which statement about trans-fatty acids is false?

a. the conversion of cis-fatty acids to trans-fatty acids is inhibited by the presence of antioxidants.

hope this

answer: -

reaction:

na + cl ⇌ nacl

balanced chemical equation:

na + 2cl ⇌ nacl2

sodium + clorine goes to form sodium chloride (table salt).

the product is nacl2.

and the reactants are na and cl.

⇌(double head arrow) means reversible reaction).
