<u>ANSWER:</u>

Echo sounding is a better way of mapping ocean floors because this method can be used to measure larger depths of the ocean.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • This method of mapping, the 'depth of the ocean' uses sound waves to send and receive signals from depths of ocean enabling accurate mapping.
  • The lead weight on line method can also be used for mapping ocean floor but this method is better for up to 50 meters of depth.
  • For greater depths, the lead weight method does not give exact results.

What affected the development of ancient india the most
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

The civilization of Ancient India was able to develop to a high level because of the natural barriers that protected it and somewhat guranteed its safety.

Explanation:

Ancient India had one of the first civlizations that developed in the Old World, part of the so called river valley civilization. The civilization in queastion is the Hindus Valley Civilization. This civilization is not just known for its great developement and being highly advanced for the time period in which it existed, but also for being the most peaceful one without a single evidence that suggests there have been a single military conflict, be it with invaders or internal conflicts.

The explanation for this is very simple. The people of this civilization lived in a safe environment because of the protection of the biggest moutain chain in the world, the Himalayas. The Himalays were simply a barrier that invading forces were not able to go through, meaning that the Hindus Valley Civilization was safe from attacks and its people could focus only on the development of the society, ingage into science, phylosophy, architecture, crafts, etc.

What are the three main regions of continental margins
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

i.

The passive continental margins are formed under divergent plate boundary setting. These are aseismic (less seismic) and often referred as the Atlantic-type margins having a distinct transition zone between the continental and oceanic crustal regions.

ii.

The active continental margins referred as the Pacific-type margins are the zones of seismically active convergent plate boundaries. These are characterized by subduction zones formed under variety of settings such as oceanic–oceanic, oceanic–continental, etc. and are mostly observed along the periphery of the Pacific Ocean.

iii.

Transform continental margins (sheared margins) are formed due to lateral plate movements or shearing motions during the continental breakup process in the divergent margin setting. Identifying this category of margins is also in a way important, as they represent an original offset in the line of continental breakup and can normally be traced laterally into an oceanic fracture zone (Bird, 2001). Further, transform margins are also noticed along the Pacific type continental margins.
