Meditation is a practice of sitting still and quiet for minutes or even hours. It has been practiced for thousands of years and is even a part of religious practices for some people. Carefully controlled, repeated measurements of brain activity have shown that meditation does increase certain chemicals in the brain and even grows the part of the brain that helps people connect with their current surroundings and activities. Are claims about the effects of meditation most likely scientific or pseudoscientific?

scientific, because people have been claiming for thousands of years that meditation helps them
scientific, because observations of brain growth and chemicals are made carefully and repeatedly
pseudoscientific, because practices that are related to religion are based on beliefs and are subjective
pseudoscientific, because people have made claims about it but scientific observations have not been made

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water.
