The Indian Ocean is bordered by Asia, Africa and Australia. The Indian Ocean contains important trade routes for oil and has man

y major port cities. A port city is a city located on the coast where ships dock and transfer people and cargo to and from land. A few of the port cities on the Indian Ocean include: Singapore, Mumbai (India), Aden (Yemen), Durban (South Africa), Jakarta (Indonesia) and Muscat (Oman).
The Indian Ocean brings powerful winds, called monsoons, to India and parts of Southeast Asia. These winds change direction with the seasons. Summer monsoons carry heavy rainfall and warm, moist air from the southwest Indian Ocean toward India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Myanmar and other nearby nations. Farmers rely on the rain during monsoon season to help their crops grow. Winter monsoons blow in from the northeast.

Which of these would not be an effect of summer monsoons?

A
flooding in the coastal regions of Bangladesh

B
roofs torn off homes in Sri Lanka

C
a good rice harvest in India

D

How did the noblemen spend their free time in ancient Egypt
shepuryov [24]

The ancient Egyptian noblemen usually would be very busy with their daily appointments with overseers of their much treasured land. However, music played a vital role in their lives. To pass time, they threw lavish parties. Consumption of beer, wine, and narcotics was common.

They also spent their leisure time in their own gardens next to their houses like people do today. They could go outside and relax. They also loved to over-stuff themselves and enjoy a good laugh. Fishing was also done at their free time and would go severally to river Nile. Most of the fishing was enjoyed as a timeout from hard work. They also hunted for sport. Noblemen caught wild animals.

What valuable resource is being obtained from the continental shelf off Alaska and Canada in the Arctic Ocean?
kaheart [24]

Answer:

The natural resources of the Arctic are the mineral and animal resources within the Arctic Circle that can provide utility or economic benefit to humans. The mineral resources include major reserves of oil and natural gas, large quantities of minerals including iron ore, copper, nickle, zinc phosphates and diamonds.

Explanation:

The Arctic resources race refers to the competition between global entities for newly available natural resources of the Arctic. Under the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea, five nations have the legal right to exploit the Arctic’s natural resources within their exclusive economic zones: Canada, Russia, Denmark, Norway, and the United States (though the U.S. has yet to ratify the treaty, it considers the treaty to be customary international law and abides by it).

The Arctic region and its resources have recently been at the center of controversy and pose potential conflicts between nations that have differing opinions of how to manage the area, including conflicting territorial claims. In addition, the Arctic region is home to an estimated 400,000 indigenous people. If the ice continues to melt at the current rate, then these indigenous people are at risk of being displaced. The acceleration of ice depletion will contribute to climate change as a whole: melting ice releases methane, ice reflects incoming solar radiation, and without it will cause the ocean to absorb more radiation (albedo effect), heating up the water causing more ocean acidification, and melting ice will cause a rise in sea level.

Andreyy89
Hello!

The garbage patchs are a site with high concentrations of trash. They are formed by the ocean gyre, where the ocean have convergences zones forming a circle of currents. When the garbage join the circle, it can't go out, cause the currents make a kind of a permanent "wall".

We can locate garbages patchs in the South Atlantic Gyre, Indian Ocean Gyre and the South Pacific Gyre.
