1.Which explanation best describes the development of a wave?
a.Wind blows water along in one direction, thereby causing it to move great distances.
b.The air mixes with the water to produce a wave.
c.Friction between the moving air and the underlying water imparts energy, which causes the water to move horizontally great distances.
d.Friction between the moving air and the underlying water imparts energy, which causes the water to move in a circular motion, but the energy moves great

2.Which of the following explanations would account for Iceland’s climate if there were no surface currents?
a.Iceland would become drier and warmer.
b.Iceland would become drier and colder.
c.Iceland would be wetter and warmer.
d.Iceland would become wetter and colder.

3.Which of the following drives global thermohaline (conveyor belt) circulation?
a.changes in gravity
b.changes in wind direction and velocity
c.changes in density
d.changes in pH

1. d, because waves are caused by friction with air. They do not move horizontally.

2. b, If the Gulf stream current stopped, the warm water from the Caribbean would not be brought northward, making all of north-Atlantic Europe colder. Colder typically means drier because there is less evaporation and less precipitation.

3. c, because it is driven by changes in density of water near the poles. (As water freezes, the water around it becomes more salty and more dense. This water sinks and creates a circular flow, causing a global conveyor effect.)

1-all of these play a part in forming the waves you can add Moor factors like change of temperature and atmosphere pressure

2-d.Iceland would become wetter and colder.

3-c.changes in density
