There are three main sources of heat in the deep earth: (1) heat from when the planet formed and accreted, which has not yet been lost; (2) frictional heating, caused by denser core material sinking to the center of the planet; and (3) heat from the decay of radioactive elements.

Identify statements true of submarine landslides and tsunamis. Choose one or more:
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

B. As a submarine slide occurs, it can result in a depression in the sea surface above the slide. A tsunami can form when water rushes in to fill the depression.

Explanation:

   A tsunami is a wave or series of waves that occurs after abrupt disturbances that vertically displace the water column, such as an earthquake, volcanic activity, abrupt displacement of land or ice, or due to the impact of a meteorite in or near the sea.

   Submarine landslides, which often accompany large earthquakes, as well as the collapse of volcanic buildings, can also disturb the water column when large volumes of sediment and rock shift and redistribute at the bottom of the sea. This can raise the water column and generate a tsunami.

1.2 Why are currents cold? ​
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Deep ocean currents.

Explanation:

In cold regions, such as the North Atlantic Ocean, ocean water loses heat to the atmosphere and becomes cold and dense. When ocean water freezes, forming sea ice, salt is left behind causing surrounding seawater to become saltier and denser. Dense-cold-salty water sinks to the ocean bottom.
