Geography

Aloiza [94]3 years ago

The ocean floor and its depth vary a lot from place to place. Maybe it is expected that the central parts of the oceans would be the deepest parts of them, while the closer the ocean floor is to the land it will be shallower, but that is not the case.

The central parts of the oceans have mid-ocean ridges. The mid-ocean ridges are volcanic underwater mountain ranges. There is constant propelling of magma, and as the magma cools off quickly it creates new crust. This results in the mid-ocean ridges gaining heights of up to 1.5 km above the surrounding area.

The further away we move from the mid-ocean ridges, or rather being closer to the oceanic margins, the depth actually increases. The reason for this is the erosiove power of the water, but also the subduction zones. The erosion manages to flatten the ocean floor, thus making it deeper, while the subduction zones are the places where the oceanic plate is moving downward toward the mantle, and it create ocean trenches which are very deep, in fact the deepest parts of the oceans.

how would living in a house where space and water are heated solely by the sun influence a person's life?
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

It would<u> reduce the dependence on traditional ways of living.</u>

Explanation:

  • Living in a place were water and space are heated directly by sunlight or sun influence would be quiet interesting and challenging as the sun is the nearest star to planet earth and this star will continue to  grow in size, and also the resources on surface of earth are finite and thus any overuse of these resources can lead to their depletion.
  • Use of this solar light or heat is essential as its an inexhaustible resource that can be stored at specific temperatures and used in terms of lightning, billing waters from heat generated by sun photovoltaic cells.  
  • The same energy that is needed r warm the surface of the earth falling on rooftops of the house can recharge the energy bill of the entire country for which sun harvesting has to be implemented.  
  • Like solar terracing and many farmers and people have done gardening on their roofs and many innovative techniques are being developed for a sustainable future.
