It is expected that seafloor samples taken farther from land usually contain a greater proportion of biogenous sediments because sediments are thinnest on the seabed closest to spreading centres (young seafloor) and thicker distant from the ridge (older seafloor with more time for accumulation). Additionally, sediments are substantially thicker close to continents.

More about seafloor sediments:

Terrigenous, pelagic, and hydrogenous sediment are the three different types of sea floor sediment. Terrigenous sediment is deposited on the continental shelf, continental rise, and abyssal plain and is derived from the land.

Clay particles and tiny marine animal skeletons that progressively sink to the ocean floor make up pelagic sediment. Minerals that precipitate from seawater on the ocean floor, such as manganese nodules, are abundant in hydrogenous sediments.

Of the cities shown, which one is the most visited?
Nata [24]

Bangkok is the most visited cities in the world.

This is based on the visits of the people, who spend at least a night in Bangkok and spend money there.

Hence Option C, that is Bangkok is the most visited cities according to the reports.

Followed by Bangkok, London is the second in the list where 19.8 visitors are registered per year.

How are convection currents influenced by the weather
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Atmospheric Pressure and Winds

The heating of the Earth's surface and atmosphere by the sun drives convection within the atmosphere and ocean. This convection produces winds and ocean currents. The greater the pressure differences between a low-pressure area and a high-pressure area, the stronger the winds.

In nuclear fission and fusion reactions mass is converted into energy. The average person in US uses around 100,000,000 J of ene
daser333 [38]

Answer:

a) The yearly energy consumption for a US population of 300 million is 3\times 10^{16} J/year

b) The energy that would be released if a 60 kg person were converted entirely into energy is 5.4\times 10^{18} Joules.

c) 180 years would this amount of energy support a population of 300 million.

Explanation:

a) Average energy consumed by single person of US = 100,000,000 J/year

Then 300 million US citizen will consume:

300 million = 300 × 1,000,000 = 3\times 10^8

The yearly energy consumption for a US population :

100,000,000 J/year\times 3\times 10^8=3\times 10^{16} J/year

The yearly energy consumption for a US population of 300 million is 3\times 10^{16} J/year

b) E = m\times c^2

E = Energy from converted mass of m

c = speed of light

Given mass of person = m = 60 kg

E=60 kg\times (3\times 10^8 m/s)^2 = 5.4\times 10^{18} J

c) Energy calculated in part (b) = E=5.4\times 10^{18} J

The yearly energy consumption for a US population  of 300 million in an year = 3\times 10^{16} J/year

Let the that would be supported by 5.4\times 10^{18} Joules of energy be x.

x\times 3\times 10^{16} J/year=5.4\times 10^{18} J

x=\frac{5.4\times 10^{18} J}{3\times 10^{16} J/year}=180 years

180 years would this amount of energy support a population of 300 million.
