Answer;

Continental margin

Explanation;

-Continental margin is the section of the ocean is composed of the continental shelf, the continental slope, and the continental rise.

-The continental margin is that portion of the ocean that separates the continents from the deep ocean floor. The continental margin is usually subdivided into three major sections: the continental shelf, the continental slope, and the continental rise. In addition to these sections, one of the most important features of the continental margin is the presence of very large submarine canyons that cut their way through the continental slope and, less commonly, the continental shelf.

The continental shelf, continental slope, and continental rise combine to form the <span>continental margin</span><span>.

</span>The continental shelf is the portion of the land mass that extends into ocean water.

Continental slope begins where the continental shelf ends. It does exactly what its name implies and serves as a boundary between the oceanic crust and the continental crust.

The continental slope divides the continental and oceanic crusts. Over a period of time, soil, rocks, and debris wash down the steep sides of a continental slope due to the influence of gravity. They pile up at the bottom of the slope and form a small ridge called continental rise.

Whitepunk [10]
From tables, the speed of sound at 0°C is approximately
V₁ = 331 m/s (in air)
V₃ = 5130 m/s (in iron)

Distance traveled is
d = 100 km = 10⁵ m

Time required to travel in air is
t₁ = d/V₁ = 10⁵/331 = 302.12 s

Time required to travel in iron is
t₂ = d/V₂ = 10⁵/5130 = 19.49 s

The difference in time is
302.12 - 19.49 = 282.63 s

Answer:  283 s (nearest second)

Paladinen [302]

Answer:

Balanced force

Explanation:

Balanced Forces, When forces are in balance, acceleration is zero. Velocity is constant and there is no net or unbalanced force. ... Although friction is acting on the person, there is no change in velocity and friction is not a net force in this case. Friction is only a net force if it changes the velocity of a mass.

Some liquid is poured into a burrete so that it reads 14cm³.50 drops were run each of volume 0.1cm³ .
nika2105 [10]

Given :

Liquid is poured into a burrete so that it reads 14cm³.

50 drops were run each of volume 0.1cm³ .

To Find :

The volume of liquid in burrete after 50 drops.

Solution :

Volume of each drop, v = 0.1 cm³.

Initial volume in burrete, V = 14 cm³.

Now, volume left after droping 50 drops are :

L = V - 50v\\\\L = 14 - 50\times 0.1 \ cm^3 \\\\L = 9 \ cm^3

Therefore, the volume left in burrete is 9 cm³ .
