It creates forces that can cause great harm to human life and property.EARTHQUAKES The outside part of the earth is the crust. Under the crust are many pieces called plates. The plates create energy when they move against each other. In an earthquake, the plates release this energy quickly...

90% of the ocean is in the midnight zone.It is (47)entirely(entire) dark.The water pressure is extreme and the temperature is near freezing.The living things found here live close (48)to cracks in the Earth's crust (地壳) and rely on the bacteria that live near the crusts for food...
“When Earth has a colpsion with an object that big, that melts a large volume of the Earth’s crust and mantle, covering a large fraction of the surface,” Marchi added. These findings suggest that Earth’s surface was buried over and over again by large volumes of molten rock — ...
the crust,lithosphericpressure increases at a rate almost twice hydrostatic. Live microorganisms obtained from the Mariana Trench, the deepest place in the oceans (10.9 kilometers, or 6.8 miles), have been successfully grown under surface conditions, whereas others have been shown to beobligatepiezo...
Ocean is the name given to a body of saline water larger in size than a sea. The world’s ocean contains about 1.35 billion cubic kilometers of water andrepresents about 97 percent of all the water on Earth, although more than 95 percent of what exists underwater is still unexplored and...
Salty – or briny – oceans lie under the ice and atop layers of water-rich rock and dry rock. Miranda is too small to retain enough heat for an ocean layer.Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech “When it comes to small bodies – dwarf planets and moons – planetary scientists previously have ...
their connection zones, namely the assembly among the Eurasian, Pacific and India-Australia plates and the related effect from the deep mantle, lithosphere, to crust and surface Earth system, and some related issues within the connection zones of the two oceans under the super-convergent back...
The Mid-Adtlantic Ridge is an underwater (also called submarine) mountain range which extends roughly from Iceland in the north to South Georgia and South Sandwich Island south of Argentina. It is the longest mountain range in the world, running down the center of the Atlantic Ocean!
Density: The density of an ocean depends on many factors, such as temperature and salt content. Depth: Some oceans are very large and deep, while others are smaller and shallower. The depth of the ocean can vary depending on the movement of plates under the Earth's surface. The average ...
