Answer:

Deep ocean trenches

Explanation:

Subduction zones are Earth's lithosphere (the crust and as well as the upper non-convecting part of the upper mantle) gravitational collapsing sites. Along convergent plate boundaries, subduction zones exist where one sheet of oceanic lithosphere merges with any other layer. So, in order to find  depth of water in the sea, we can find these subduction zones. The best places are a deep ocean- trench like the Mariana Trench in the pacific ocean.

Differences in ocean-surface height can be measured by _____.\
bonufazy [111]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Satellite

Differences in ocean-surface height can be measured by<u> Satellite</u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • The topography of the ocean or the height of the ocean surface relative to a level of no motion provides the information on tides, and the distribution of heat and mass in the Earths's oceans.
  • <em><u>The ocean topography is measured using satellites altimeter. Satellites use radar altimeters that are specially made to measure the height of the ocean surface.  The satellites measure the height of the ocean surface with an accuracy of 3 cm relative to the center of the earth.</u></em>
  • Satellite altimeter combines precise orbit determination with accurate ranging by a microwave altimeter of ocean distance to the satellite.

weegy a 7.5kg block is placed on a table. if its bottom surface area is 0.6m2 , how much pressure does the block exert on the ta
Lesechka [4]

The pressure exerted by the block on the table is given by:

p=\frac{W}{A}

where W is the weight of the box, and A is the bottom surface area of the box.

The weight of the box is: W=mg=(7.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)=73.6 N

Substituting into the first equation, we find the pressure:

p=\frac{W}{A}=\frac{73.6 N}{0.6 m^2}=122.7 Pa
