Answer:
The correct answer is D. The deepest parts of the oceans, located near the continents, are the oceanic trenches.
Explanation:
The ocean trenches are large depressions at the base of the seabed, which constitute the deepest parts of the Earth. Of these, the Mariana Trench, located in the Pacific Ocean to the east of China, is the deepest, being approximately 11,000 meters deep.
These trenches are formed by the activity of tectonic plates, specifically when one plate moves below the other and by the force exerted a depression is generated in the seabed, followed by a chain of volcanic islands at a close distance.
Answer:
The Gulf Stream is an intense, warm ocean current in the western North Atlantic Ocean.
Since the Gulf Stream also extends toward Europe, it warms western European countries as well. In fact, England is about the same distance from the equator as cold regions of Canada, yet England enjoys a much warmer climate. If it weren't for the warm water of the Gulf Stream, England would have a much colder climate.
The force of gravity increases - when an objects mass increases.
Weight is - caused by gravity affecting mass.
Mass is - the amount of matter in an object.
The force of gravity decreases - when distance increases.
Answer:
"Factors controlling the distribution of rainfall over the earth's surface are the belts of converging-ascending air flow (see doldrums; polar front), air temperature, moisture-bearing winds, ocean currents, distance inland from the coast, and mountain ranges."
