Answer:
I'll assume you have to match the name with their definitions.
1. aquifers
underground water sources
That's because of the presence of porous rocks that let water pass through them and reach an underground cavern that then acts as a tank.
2. delta
a broad, triangular-shaped land area at the mouth of a river
That's common especially in larger rivers that meet their destination point (usually the ocean).
3. oasis
a small fertile area in the desert, usually a place where water is close to the surface (plural - oases)
We all heard about oases in the desert, where human and animals alike gather to drink.
4. rain shadow
an area that receives less precipitation because of its location on the leeward side of a mountain
That's common in high mountains region where the mountains are so high they block the passage of clouds to the other side.
Answer:
Deep ocean exploration is all about investigating its geology i.e physical and chemical along with biological conditions on the ocean floor where sunlight cannot reach. There has been an interest in the deep ocean due to scientific communities and for industrial purpose. Exploration is carried by submarine and remotely operated vehicles at about 300m to 1000m. Analysis of ocean floor had found a huge concentration of mineral deposits such as manganese, copper, cobalt, gold, zinc etc.
The mining is carried out by using hydraulic pumping or bucket type excavator and are processed on ground industries. Deep-ocean mining has not been able to reach its full potential due to the high cost of operating and environmental damage.
Increased slope steepness, increased water, decreased vegetation and earthquakes
1. distribute → 3q-15= 2q +10
2. combine like terms → q=25
