The state of Hawaii is made of eight large islands and over a hundred smaller islands. The island of Hawaii is the most southeas

tern of the eight largest islands and is also closest to the seafloor spreading center from which the Pacific plate originates, about 5,600 km farther to the southeast. Assuming equal sedimentation rates for the entire region, what should be the location of the thickest sediment layer, and thus the area with the greatest diversity of fossils above the oceanic crust?

Answer:

On assuming that area has equal sedimentation, location of the entire region has to below the level of the 500 meters this layer is made of basaltic lava.

Explanation:

  • As the eight Hawaiian islands are made of volcanic there are hundreds of smaller mounds of greater heights spread over the seafloor centered from the pacific plate origins.
  • Fossils of corals may have been found near the floors of these plates and sedimentary deposits found along the shallower seabeds. close to the shores of the continental shelves.  
  • Marine life of paleozoic times might have been formed due to the Cambrian explosion. When the volcanic arcs and nouns have a gown on the ocean floor the crust has expanded and remained constant over the geologic time.

Please may I have help with this question.<br> Thank you

Answer:

The economic effects were more significant than the social effects.

Explanation:

The social effects included the flooding of over 600 houses and the evacuation of 16 farms. Villages, such as Borrowbridge,  were cut off, and power supplies, roads, and railways were also affected. The Bristol to Taunton line was closed at Bridgwater for instance. The environmental impacts were even worse though; an enormous volume of debris dumped by the floodwaters had to be cleaned up and stagnant waters had to be re-oxygenated before being pumped back into rivers. However, I think the worse impact of all was the contamination of all flooded areas by oil, agricultural chemicals, livestock effluent, and human sewage. I think that this is the worst impact because of its potential for causing harm to humans and other animals.

In conclusion, I think that the socio-economic and environmental effects of this flood were both important but that the environmental effect was more important, because of the potential to cause harm.
