Answer:

The seafloor is only 180 million years old due to the process of subduction. The floor of the sea's tends to get colder and denser with the passage of time. At a certain time, the seafloor becomes so dense that it sinks in the upper mantle. The Earth's crust cannot undergo this process and hence has oldest rocks. We can say that the seafloor is less than 180 million years old because it is typically recycled back into the mantle of the Earth.

Tpy6a [65]

Gulliver was a surgeon and he was on the ship named “Antelope”. When a violent storm came and the ship sank, all the crew members were engulfed in the ocean. Gulliver somehow managed and swam to the shore.

He was so tired that soon he fell into a deep sleep and when he woke he saw that he was caught and chained by little men called Lilliputians who lived there.

At first, when he tried to free himself, they were frightened of him and fire dozens of arrows in to his chest, hands, and arms but later they treated him very well. Gulliver admitted that first he want that take people in his hand and crush them but when they treated him well, he also treated them well. He was impressed by their nice hospitality they showed.
