Answer:
The question can be best explained in the light of the world hydrological cycle.
Explanation:
- This is a process of the hydrological cycle were the waterfalls in the form of rains and later on gets absorbed or evaporates from the ground or natural vegetation. This falling water may also get collected as lakes and other water bodies.
- When it rains in the neighbour the water the falls on the ground is in filtered through the pore of the soil and percolates deep down to form aquifers and groundwater table.
- This water body acts as a reservoir and in the end, meets with the water of the ocean and sea through the subsurface flow.
I think that the answer is c, ridges!
Answer:
Deep ocean exploration is all about investigating its geology i.e physical and chemical along with biological conditions on the ocean floor where sunlight cannot reach. There has been an interest in the deep ocean due to scientific communities and for industrial purpose. Exploration is carried by submarine and remotely operated vehicles at about 300m to 1000m. Analysis of ocean floor had found a huge concentration of mineral deposits such as manganese, copper, cobalt, gold, zinc etc.
The mining is carried out by using hydraulic pumping or bucket type excavator and are processed on ground industries. Deep-ocean mining has not been able to reach its full potential due to the high cost of operating and environmental damage.
All of those are included in the earth's hydrosphere.
