Question

drag and drop the words or phrases that accurately complete the paragraph. the ocean plays a fundamental role in the global energy budget by more solar energy than the atmosphere or land. in addition, the ocean absorbs excess heat produced by gases in the atmosphere, leading to an increase in ocean water temperatures. as a result, sea ice is gradually melting, causing a(n) in salinity concentrations. differences in temperature and salinity are essential for the continuation of ocean water circulation. reduction in density gradients is the north atlantic conveyor belt, potentially leading to a climate refugee crisis. releasing greenhouse farmhouse increase absorbing slowing accelerating decrease

Explanation:

The ocean absorbs solar energy. Green - house gases produce excess heat. Melting sea - ice dilutes seawater, decreasing salinity. Reduced density gradients slow the North Atlantic conveyor belt.

Answer:

absorbing, greenhouse, decrease, slowing
