when the moon is dark
when it's full moon it's the highest tides. The moon attracts the ocean..
Answer:
The answer is 5.1852 cm/yr
.
Explanation:
In order to calculate the full seafloor spreading rate in cm/yr, we have to first calculate the half-spreading rate which can be done by simply dividing the given distance (in cm) by time (yr); after calculating the half-spreading rate, we will double it and get the full seafloor spreading rate, thus:
Distance = 3,500 km = 3,500 × 100,000 cm = 350,000,000 cm
Time = 135,000,000 years
The half-spreading rate = distance ÷ time = 350,000,000 ÷ 135,000,000 = 2.5926 cm/yr
.
Therefore, the full seafloor spreading rate = 2.5926 cm/yr × 2 = 5.1852 cm/yr.
Ideally, the drilling of fossil fuels from inner earth could lead to an accident from a oil spill which could cause a serious harm to the ocean environment and life.
<h3>What is oil drilling done?</h3>
A oil rig machine is used to drill the inner earth to derive crude oil for pertroleum, gas, bitumen, diesel etc.
However, this could harm the ocean because any incidence of oil spill from the drillng could cause a serious harm to the ocean environment and life.
