With a wave length of  λ = 100 and ocean depth of  500m, this wave is a deep water wave.

<h3>How to know a deep water wave</h3>

This type of wave that has the depth of the water to be more than the wavelength divided by 2.

That is depth > 100/2

If it was the other way round, that is wavelength is more than the depth, then it would be a shallow wave.

Therefore the answer to the question is the deep water wave.

What is a plateau? (5 points) a A large area of flat or gently rolling land with low relief b A raised, flat-surfaced area bound
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

A plateau is a raised, flat-surfaced area bound on one or more sides by cliffs or steep slopes.

Explanation:

Earth is a planet that has all sorts of different types of landforms. Some are enormous and occupy thousands of square km while some are very small and barely noticeable. One interesting landform that varries from medium to large size is the plateau.

The plateaus are flat or relatively flat areas that are on higher elevation. They differ in size, but also in elevation, and a plateau can be anywhere from 600 meters above sea level (like Pelagonija)to the highest ones that are above 4000 meters of elevation (like the Tibetan plateau). In some cases the plateaus are the highest landforms int heir surroundings and they bordered cliffs and steep slopes, in some cases it is a mixture of higher mountains on one side and cliffs and steep slopes on the other, and in some cases, they are fully surrounded by mountains, which is why people tend to confuse them with valleys if they are not very high.

What valuable resource is being obtained from the continental shelf off Alaska and Canada in the Arctic Ocean?
kaheart [24]

Answer:

The natural resources of the Arctic are the mineral and animal resources within the Arctic Circle that can provide utility or economic benefit to humans. The mineral resources include major reserves of oil and natural gas, large quantities of minerals including iron ore, copper, nickle, zinc phosphates and diamonds.

Explanation:

The Arctic resources race refers to the competition between global entities for newly available natural resources of the Arctic. Under the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea, five nations have the legal right to exploit the Arctic’s natural resources within their exclusive economic zones: Canada, Russia, Denmark, Norway, and the United States (though the U.S. has yet to ratify the treaty, it considers the treaty to be customary international law and abides by it).

The Arctic region and its resources have recently been at the center of controversy and pose potential conflicts between nations that have differing opinions of how to manage the area, including conflicting territorial claims. In addition, the Arctic region is home to an estimated 400,000 indigenous people. If the ice continues to melt at the current rate, then these indigenous people are at risk of being displaced. The acceleration of ice depletion will contribute to climate change as a whole: melting ice releases methane, ice reflects incoming solar radiation, and without it will cause the ocean to absorb more radiation (albedo effect), heating up the water causing more ocean acidification, and melting ice will cause a rise in sea level.
