Which event does the ocean conveyor belt virtual lab predict will occur at the highest temperature setting? a. the amount of earth covered by ice will increase to 25 percent b. average sea level will decrease by 500 millimeters c. the rate of alpine glacier melting will decrease d. much of coastal florida will be underwater

The correct option is D. Much of the coastal Florida will be underwater considering the pattern of ocean conveyor belt setting and geographical location.

The ocean circulation conveyor belt or the thermohaline circulation of sea water circulates massive water currents from northern to southern oceans and again back. The water from tropical Atlantic is warm and moves towards the poles supplying heat to atmosphere which drops the temperature a little in high altitudes. The warm water on releasing heat becomes denser and sinks down. This closed circulation loop makes the cold water move towards the tropical region at the deeper levels.

Atlantic acts as an engine for the entire planet’s conveyor belt of the ocean current, the cold water which is sinking up in North Atlantic drives current in the Pacific ocean as well .

the "dirty dozen" chemicals banned in an international treaty are formally known as persistent organic pollutants, or pops. the united nations environment program provided this background on what they are and what they can do to humans and wildlife.
