<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

How does pollution effect the water cycle?
garik1379 [7]
Water cycle is effected by pollution, whether it is water pollution or air pollution. Air is polluted by Suspended Particulate Matter and by different harmful gases like Sulphur dioxide etc. These gases react with water vapours in the sky, making the water in the clouds acidic. This acid falls as rain water causing acid rains. This acid falls in ponds, on land, in fields, causing harm to us and to the crops as well as to the fishes or creatures in water. When the water evaporates from ponds, rivers and oceans to make water vapour, the the water in these water bodies becomes more acidic, and again when acid rains occur, this acid again mixes with the water of the water bodies, which already has acid, causing the water to become more concentrated.
