The waters off the coast of France are cold. Which of the following is the best explanation? The gyre rotates counterclockwise, bringing cold water from the south. The gyre rotates counterclockwise, removing warm water from the south. The gyre rotates clockwise, bringing cold water from the north. The gyre rotates clockwise, removing warm water from the north.

The waters off the coast of France are cold because the gyre rotates clockwise, bringing cold water from the north

Explanation:

In general, the oceanic gyres located in the northern hemisphere circulate in a clockwise direction to form the huge circular currents on the ocean surface.

This clockwise rotation is because of the Coriolis Effect which deflects the global wind to the right side of the northern hemisphere along with the surface ocean winds causing the clockwise rotational movements.

The North Atlantic Ocean gyre rotates the wind clockwise, brings in the cold air from the north and rotates along western Europe.

Further, the Beaufort gyre also rotates clockwise and rotates the cold Siberian and Arctic waters from the north to the Atlantic Ocean. Thus the waters of the western coastal regions of France get cooler.

if the hares very faster than they are now, and thus the lynx's hunting success rate drops because it will be harder to catch them, the rate that will change will be the pray-rate. the pray-rate will change because more hares will be able to survive, thus more individuals for reproduction, so the end result will be increasing population of hares.

the predator-rate will remain pretty much the same because there will be more than enough pray, but the hunting success rate is stagnant.
