If we have the intersection of the equator and the prime meridian as a starting point, and we move towards west, than the three oceans that we will encounter will be in the next order:
1. Atlantic Ocean; lies between Europe and Africa from one side (eastern borders), and North and South America on the other side (western borders). It is in fact our starting point.
2. Pacific Ocean; lies between Asia and Australia form one side (western borders), and North and South America from the other side (eastern borders).
3. Indian Ocean; lies between Southeast Asia and Australia (as its eastern borders) and Africa as its western border, and on the north it borders with South Asia.
The northernmost ocean on our planet is the Arctic Ocean, which is lying around the Arctic circle.
The southernmost ocean is the Southern Ocean which surrounds Antarctica with its waters.
Answer:
<u>Use of Triangulation, and interaction of the three circles.</u>
Explanation:
- To determine the epicenter of the earthquakes the scientist study the patterns of the waves and use this method to find the exact location of the earthquakes.
- As the earthquake has P and S waves that are released with force the distance that these waves travel are calculated with the distance of the radio waves that is reflected from least three different locations, thus it's named as triangulation all three sides.<u>
</u>
- <u>About three seismographs are used to locate these waves, along with the use of the GIS technology prediction of the faults and the future occurrence of earthquakes of done.</u>
There are changes in the frequency, intensity, and predictability of precipitation. This means water is more scarce, and agriculture abilities are limited.
Greenhouse emissions of tar sand, per barrel, are more than conventional crude oil. This is because, it takes more energy to extract the bitumen from the tar sand and more so, to convert the bitumen to usable oil taking up even more energy. This energy is usually derived from burning natural gas. Emissions by tar sand are approximately 100 kg CO2 per barrel while conventional oil is approximately 30 kg CO2 per barrel.
