Ocean acidification is primarily caused by the increased absorption of CO2 from the atmosphere into ocean waters.

The primary cause of ocean currents is wind patterns, which drive the movement of water across the surface.

Gravity is the primary force that causes sediment to be transported downstream in rivers.

Surface tension is primarily caused by cohesive forces between liquid molecules, which create a 'skin' at the surface.

The greenhouse effect is primarily caused by the trapping of heat in the Earth's atmosphere by greenhouse gases.

Capillarity is primarily caused by adhesion, which is the attraction between the liquid molecules and the surface of the solid.

Buoyancy is caused by the pressure difference between the top and bottom of an object submerged in a fluid.

Capillarity is primarily caused by adhesion, which is the attraction between the liquid molecules and the surface of the solid.

The primary cause of tides on Earth is the gravitational pull of the moon.

Tuberculosis is primarily caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Viscosity arises primarily from molecular interactions within the fluid, which resist flow.

Wind is primarily caused by differences in atmospheric pressure.

Virtual teams often struggle with establishing personal connections due to physical distance, which can hinder team cohesion.

K-selected species typically exhibit high parental care and invest more resources in fewer offspring.

The primary characteristic of a redox reaction is the transfer of electrons between species.

Adsorption is a surface phenomenon where molecules adhere to the surface of a solid or liquid.

Alkaline earth metals typically have a +2 oxidation state due to the loss of two electrons.

Amorphous solids have short-range order but lack long-range order, unlike crystalline solids.

Baroque art is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, emotional intensity, and a sense of movement, reflecting the complexities of the human experience.

Gases have high compressibility due to the large spaces between particles, unlike solids and liquids which have definite shape and volume.

Gases are highly compressible due to the large spaces between particles, allowing them to occupy more volume when pressure is applied.

Insulators are materials that prevent the flow of electricity.

Liquids have fluidity, allowing them to flow and take the shape of their container.

Metals are known for their luster, which is the shiny appearance they exhibit when polished.

Non-metals are generally brittle in solid form and do not exhibit metallic luster.

The primary characteristic that distinguishes living organisms from non-living things is their ability to reproduce, which is essential for the continuation of species.

Metals are generally good conductors of heat and electricity, while non-metals are poor conductors.

Solids maintain a definite shape and volume due to closely packed particles, while liquids take the shape of their container but have a definite volume.

In n-type semiconductors, electrons are the majority charge carriers due to the addition of donor impurities.

In P-type semiconductors, holes are the primary charge carriers.
