Ametal pot is filled with water and placed on top of a stove. as the stove top heats up, the water begins to boil and steam can be seen escaping from the pot. this is an example of a(n). answer. a) closed system because matter can enter or leave the system but energy cannot.. b) open system because heat and matter can enter the system but cannot leave the system.. c) open system because heat and matter are both able to enter or leave the system.. d) closed system because energy can enter or leave the system but matter cannot..

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.
