Question

what are the two factors that can cause the volume of water in the ocean to change?
a) gravity and temperature
b) salinity level and temperature
c) temperature and pressure
d) pressure and salinity level
question 16 (5 points)
what term describes the average weather conditions in a geographic area?
a) climate
b) weather
c) temperature

Explanation:

For the first question, temperature affects water volume through thermal expansion or contraction, and salinity affects density and thus volume. Gravity mainly affects water - level and flow rather than volume directly, and pressure has a relatively minor impact on water volume in the ocean compared to temperature and salinity. For the second question, climate is defined as the average weather conditions over a long - term in a geographic area, while weather is short - term and temperature is just one component of weather and climate.

Answer:

Question 1: B. Salinity level and temperature
Question 2: A. Climate
