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.
The Earth's ocean is a large body of water that is divided into four parts: Atlantic, Arctic, Indian, and Pacific Ocean. Some countries like the U.S. started recognizing the Southern Ocean as the fifth, though it's still not always considered one of the main ones. The answer is B: four.
Disrupt means, to interrupt by causing a disturbance or problem.
In which plate boundary two plates move towards each other and collide called convergent plate boundary. And causes devastation. E.g. Earthquake, Vulcanicity. In which plate boundary two plates move in opposite direction and do not collide called divergent plate boundary. Mountain building is the result of this type of plate boundary's action. In transform fault both the plates slide each other and causes fault in the sea floor.
Explanation:
Plate is a rigid and solid crustal block which is mobile in character and found in the asthenosphere in the upper mantle. It prevails in semi liquid and viscous condition where plates move easily. There are seven major plates and twenty minor plates. Plates are of two types. Continental plate and oceanic plate.
Where two plates collide with each other that area is known as plate boundary and the edge of plate is known as plate margin. Plate boundary is of three types: Convergent, divergent and transform plate boundary. These are also known as constructive, destructive and neutral plate boundaries.
Answer:
Explanation:
Desalination is an important source of water supply for Singapore. With the Tuas desalination plant, we can meet up to 30% of Singapore's water needs. The Tuas desalination plant is the first in Singapore to use advanced pretreatment technology, a combination of dissolved air flotation and ultrafiltration.
