Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The northward flow of nutrient-rich waters is interrupted by warm water masses with little nutrients.
Some upwelling does still occur, but there are no nutrients to bring to the surface. Information can be
found in the section Marine Scientists Use the Logic of Science to Study the Ocean.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
There are many combinations of temperature and salinity that can yield the same density. Layers in the
ocean are dictated by density. Water masses with the same density but different temperature and
salinity can combine to produce a new water mass with greater density. Information can be found in
the section Thermohaline Circulation Affects All the Ocean's Water

Each day had 10 decimal hours. Each hour had 100 decimal minutes. Due to lack of popularity, the metric clocks and calendars were ended in 1795, three years after they had been first marketed.
