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.
Answer:
Heat Islands occur in cities.
Explanation:
The cities, especially the large ones, have managed to totally transform the natural landscape and create something that can not be found in nature. Humans have created large areas with very large populations. This has resulted in the extensive building, pilling up of certain materials, industry, traffic, blocking of winds, pollution, etc.
All of the aforementioned things have managed to create a micro-climate when it comes to the cities, differing from the climate in the surrounding area. Something that is often a characterisitc of the micro-climate in the large cities is the so-called ''heat island''. Basically, the materials that dominate in the cities, like concrete, asphalt, and glass, all manage to amplify the effect of the sun, accumulating and radiating heat, making the cities unbearably hot in some parts of the year.
Answer:
The solution slowly descends into the cave and deposits the dissolved calcium carbonate, sometimes including impurities of iron and other minerals. On reaching the cave, the water droplets fall to the floor, leaving behind a tiny deposit of calcite crystal.
Explanation:
Answer: The correct answer is : (2) all inorganic rocks except igneous rocks are formed from other rocks
Explanation: Igneous rocks are formed by the solidification of magma, the process is slow if it is in the crust and fast if it is on the surface.
Sedimentary rocks are formed on the surface of the earth by processes of erosion and alteration of pre-existing rocks.
Metamorphic rocks have been formed by the evolution of another previous rock due to the environment to which it is subjected that may be hotter, colder or of a different pressure.
Australia is an island country, and besides the big main island and Tasmania, it has 12,000 islands plus in its territory. Since it doesn't have any land borders, its borderline is actually the sum of all coastlines of all islands in its territory, and that accounts for 70,000 km.
New South Wales is the biggest state in the country, and it occupies 10% of its total land mass. Its border is 4,635 km, which means that it accounts for 6.62% of the total borderline of Australia.
