The Sun is the main energy source on Earth. Approximately
50%
of the
solar energy hitting Earth is absorbed by land and oceans.
This absorbed energy changes into
which can be transferred to
the atmosphere. As the air in the atmosphere then gets heated, it becomes
less
and rises.
Cool, dense air from other places flows in to replace this warm air, which we
feel as
.
This cool air eventually heats and starts to rise again. This continual process
of air closest to Earth’s surface warming, rising, cooling, and then sinking
creates
in the atmosphere.
Atmospheric winds that blow over the ocean surface create
that carry water around the globe.
Unequal heating of the oceans and differences in
also
create currents.
The Sun warms water at the
more than it does at the
high latitude Polar regions.
At the
, some water freezes. The water that doesn’t freeze
contains more
, making it denser.
As this cold, dense water sinks, the warm water from the equator moves
toward the poles to replace it.
This constant movement creates a deep ocean current called the
.
The global conveyor belt transfers heat from one part of the world to the
other, thus affecting the
and
in all parts
of the world.
Surface and deep ocean currents continually transfer warm and cold waters
around the globe.
As these waters warm or cool the air above it, winds blow the air over land,
it up or
it down.
The
in the Gulf of Mexico is an ocean current
that creates a warm layer of water in the gulf. This results in the growth of
several
that affect the Gulf Coast.

13. calculate the initial concentration (before precipitation) of carbonate ions after the addition of each 0.05 ml of solution b to the 1.00 l beaker of solution a. divide the work among group members and write the answers in the table in model 3. assume the volume change as solution b is added is negligible. 14. notice the initial concentrations of zn2+ - and cu2+ in the table in model 3. a. explain how these were obtained from the data in model 2. b. as solution b is added and precipitates form, do these initial concentrations change? 15. use the data in model 2 to indicate the presence of precipitate (either znco3 or cuco3) after each 0.05 ml addition of solution b in model 3. 16. use the initial concentrations of carbonate ions and zinc ions to calculate the reaction quotient, qsp for the zinc carbonate scenarios in model 3. divide the work among group members and write the answers in the table in model 3. 17. use the initial concentrations of carbonate ion and copper(ii) ions to calculate the qsp for the copper(ii) carbonate scenarios in model 3. divide the work among group members and write the answers in the table in model 3.
