Continental shelf is the name of the area between the shoreline and the continental slope.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation: </u>

The continental shelf refers the continent' edge which presents under the ocean. It expands from the continent' edge to a drop points referred as shelf break. As this break, the underwater edge of the continental shelf initiates to plummet deep into the seabed.

According to convention, the continental shelf of the coastal state includes the sinking area of the coastal state, the seabed and undersea region' subsoil extending beyond its territorial sea to its outer edge point of the continent or 200 km of nautical miles without extending the outer periphery of continental margin.

If a cup of water has holes in it than why does no water come out when when it is falling?
quester [9]

Because the acceleration of gravity is the acceleration of gravity.
It doesn't matter what the mass of a falling object is, and it  doesn't
matter whether a falling object is solid or liquid.  ALL falling objects
fall with the same acceleration, reach the same speed, and hit the
ground at the same time.

If there was no air in the way, then a feather, a school bus, and a
battleship would accelerate at the same rate, fall together and hit
the ground at the same time.

When you drop a cup full of water that has holes in it, the cup and
the water fall with the same acceleration, reach the same speed,
and hit the floor at the same time.  Then, THAT's the time to go
and get the mop.

A girl wants to count the steps of a moving escalator which is going up. If she counts 60 steps going up and 90 coming down. How
brilliants [131]
Let

V the speed of the girl per step
v the speed of the escalator per step
L the length between ground and floor in number of steps

V*60+v*60=L => V+v=L/60
V*90-v*90=L => V-v=L/90

By adding the equations V+v=L/60 and V-v=L/90 we get:

2V=L(3+2)/180

V=5L/360

V = L/72

Time to climb (in steps) with v=0 (escalator standing still) is:

V*t=L

t = L/V

t = L/(L/72)

t =72 steps

The girl will count 72 steps.
