<u>Continent-</u>any of the world's main continuous expanses of land

<u>Continental Shelf-</u>the area of seabed around a large landmass where the sea is relatively shallow compared with the open ocean. The continental shelf is geologically part of the continental crust

<u>continent slope-</u>the slope between the outer edge of the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor

<u>seamount-</u>a submarine mountain

<u>trench-</u>a long, narrow, deep depression in the ocean floor, typically one running parallel to a plate boundary and marking a subduction zone

<u>midocean ridge-</u>a long, seismically active submarine ridge system situated in the middle of an ocean basin and marking the site of the upwelling of magma associated with seafloor spreading

<u>subduction zone-</u>A subduction zone is the biggest crash scene on Earth. These boundaries mark the collision between two of the planet's tectonic plates. The plates are pieces of crust that slowly move across the planet's surface over millions of years

<u>abyssal plain-</u>An abyssal plain is an underwater plain on the deep ocean floor, usually found at depths between 3,000 meters (9,800 ft) and 6,000 meters (20,000 ft). Lying generally between the foot of a continental rise and a mid-ocean ridge, abyssal plains cover more than 50% of the Earth's surface

<u>oceanic crust-</u>the relatively thin part of the earth's crust which underlies the ocean basins. It is geologically young compared with the continental crust and consists of basaltic rock overlain by sediments

<u>submarine canyon-</u>A submarine canyon is a steep-sided valley cut into the seabed of the continental slope, sometimes extending well onto the continental shelf, having nearly vertical walls, and occasionally having canyon wall heights of up to 5 km

as a ray of white lightpasses trough a prism dispersionoccurswich among the colorof the visiblespectrumrefracted the MOST
Sidana [21]

Violet color of the visible spectrum will be refracted the most, as a ray of white light passes trough a prism dispersion occurs.

Violet light refracts the most as it passes through air and into a prism during dispersion because it has a shorter wavelength in the visible light spectrum (about 400 nanometers) than red light (650 nanometers). A variety of colours make up visible light, commonly referred to as white light.  

Light passing through a triangular prism frequently produces these hues. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet are created as the white light passes through the prism. Dispersion is the process through which visible light is divided into its various colours. Each colour corresponds to a different wave frequency, and different frequencies of light waves bend differently when they pass through a prism.

The correct question is "As a ray of white light passes trough a prism dispersion occurs, which among the color of the visible spectrum refracted the most?"

If we were to discover that life exists elsewhere in the galaxy, would it be realistically possible to travel to their home plan
Rom4ik [11]
I think yes because that’s kinda of like when we travel to a different state after that we go back to our home state and also you can reference to astronauts when there done traveling from space they come back to earth. So I think yes because we can travel to different galaxies/ planets but we can still come back to our home planet after visiting that galaxy/ planet. Hope this helped!
