deep underneath the ocean floor. David Sandwell says the map is a powerful tool for fisheries, those interested in protecting the environment and for oil exploration. “The petrol exploration industry is interested in how to reconnect the continents, bring them back together tectonically so you can...
They all are buried deep underneath the ocean floor. Mr. Sandwell thinks scientists will make many more discoveries as they examine the new map and the information it provides.1. What is the main idea of the passage? B. Scientists have created a new map of the ocean floor. C. New ...
An ocean earthquake commonly occurs between 200 and 1,000 years. As the pressure of floating plates bouncing against a continental plate rises, the continental plate starts pushing back. This causes an ocean floor island to recede underwater until the pressure is too great. Finally, an earthquake...
Underneath — and virtually unseeable from ground level — at just 9 inches (23 centimeters) in diameter, is the world's deepest man-made hole. The Kola Superdeep Borehole runs about 40,230 feet (12,262 meters) or 7.6 miles (12.2 kilometers) into Earth's surface. For perspective, the...
"The first thing that happens is they land and crush everything underneath them," said DeVogelaere, who studied the sunken container. By changing the flow of water and sediment, the container completely changes the micro-ecosystem around it — impacting seafloor species that scientists are still...

The interaction with the biota is another aspect that may change depending on where the litter is deposited, on the sediment, in the water column, or stranded. For instance, plastics and other waterlogged materials may settle on the ocean floor, potentially altering sediment composition and ...
Crabsare omnivores, and intriguingly, they enjoy a meal of protein and algae. The two commonly known algae-eating crabs are the sally lightfoot crab and the common mithrax crab. Several crabs dwell underneath the ocean floor, rocks, and coral reefs. While crabs dwell in these aquatic habitats...
Which is why we also use it to define what sea level would be underneath mountains if they weren't there. . .but their gravity were. 这也是为何我们用它来测量山底下海平面的高度视其身不在,而重力在。
