Abyssal plains are large, flat features that cover about one third of the planet.

<h3>What are Abyssal plains?</h3>
  • The broad, flat, sediment-covered regions of the deep ocean floor are known as abyssal plains.
  • They have a slope of less than one foot of height variation for every thousand feet of travel, making them the flattest, featureless places on Earth.
  • When tectonic plates separate, magma rises and forms new crust, filling the space that was left between the plates.
  • When sediments from the shoreline pass over the continental shelf, tumble down the continental slope, and deposit on top of the more recent oceanic crust, they create an abyssal plane.

stiv31 [10]

<u>Answer:</u>

For example, the dinosaurs' fossils helped the scientists to learn about their habits, habitats, etc.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Scientists greatly depend upon existing biological evidences of extinct organisms in the form of 'fossils' to study the earlier life existed within the biosphere and the geosphere.

Fossil research allows researchers to learn a great deal not only about the organisms' live form and behaviour but also the Earth's geosphere and biosphere at that time. Specially, transitional fossils are more apt to study as they demonstrate the transitional states of a fossil between the ancestral type and the descendants' recent form.

Oh What do you know bout how light bounce off mirrors
Anastaziya [24]

The bending of light rays  happens when the light rays hits an object. It moves in various directions thereby letting us to view that object that the bounced off.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Light gets reflected to human eyes and other body parts, when they hit a flat mirror. The bouncing off is not accurate in human heads and other parts that faces the mirror. The refracted rays from human bodies starts to hit at different angles in the mirror and are reflected back accurately. This is the reason for the backward appearance of mirror images to human eyes.

The light is reflected backward to the point behind the mirrors that are of Convex type. Hence the obtained image will be smaller and farther that its originals. The light will be drawn into the mirror's center point and hence the resultant image will be larger than the original object because of the light reflected by a concave mirror type.
