The Battle of the Atlantic took place throughout the northern region of the Atlantic Ocean. Once the United States entered the war the battle spread all the way to the coast the United States and the Caribbean Sea. The battle lasted over 5 years and 8 months from September 3, 1939 to May 8, 1945. The control of the Atlantic had a major impact on the outcome of the war. Keeping Britain supplied helped to keep the Germans from taking over all of Western Europe. The losses in the battle were staggering. Over 30,000 sailors were killed on each side. The Allies lost around 3,500 supply ships and 175 warships. The Germans lost 783 submarines.

Fun Facts:

Winston Churchill first called it the "Battle of the Atlantic" in 1941.

It was estimated that at least 20 supply ships needed to arrive each day in Britain in order for them to continue to fight the war.

The Allies lost 1,664 supply ships in 1942.

The Germans sometimes used a "wolf pack" tactic where a number of submarines would surround and attack a supply convoy at once.

Allied planes used a large spotlight called the Leigh Light to spot submarines that had surfaced at night.

Compare the surface of the Earth to that of the Moon. Why doesn't the Earth's land retain the same scarring from meteorite impac

Andru [333]

Hello!

The reason the Earth doesn't retain the same scarring from meteorite impact as the moon is because Earth has things that can wear this scarring down, while the moon doesn't. This is primarily because the Moon doesn't have an atmosphere while the Earth does.

For example, Earth's land doesn't retain the same scarring from meteorite impact as it has wind, rain, plants and all these things which erode the scarring away. However, the moon doesn't have these things. There is no wind, no rain, and nothing to blow away the scarring. Even footprints can last on the moon for this reason.

Earth's ocean doesn't retain the scarring either because of the water. The water, plus all of its currents and plant growth erodes away the marks, and eventually, they will disappear.

Hope this helps!

Which of the following can lead to the formation of an ocean dead zone? Choose one or more: o phytoplankton blooms o overfishing

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

1. phytoplankton blooms

Explanation:

A dead zone is a zone that is created by the presence of the dead and decomposing matter of the plant an abiotic component that depletes the oxygen and thereby creating a thick layer of nutrient-rich deposits in the aquatic environment that does not support the marine and fish life.

They may result from agricultural, industrial and urban flows. And the changes that occur with the climate changes and the seasonal cycles of the earth. There are four types of dead zones classified on their lengths.

Permanent dead zone i.e the rarely exceed 2 milligrams per liter.

Temporal dead zones i.e the short-lived dead zone that lat flour hours a day.

Seasonal dead zones occur annually mostly in the summer months.

The hypoxic zone that occurs in the night time.

The baltic seas, Chesapeake bays, Lake Erie, and the other zone are affected by these blooms of algae and other foreign substances.

The convergent plate boundaries are formed when two lithospheric plates move toward each other. The nature of a convergent bound

oee [108]

Answer:

1. oceanic-oceanic boundaries

2. oceanic-continental boundaries

3. continental-continental boundaries

Explanation:

The three types of plate convergence are:

1. oceanic-oceanic boundaries: this occurs when two oceanic plates clash; thereby the heavier plate forms below the lighter plate resulting in dark, heavy, basaltic volcanic islands.

2. oceanic-continental boundaries: this occurs when there is a collision between oceanic and continental plates, resulting in the downward movement of oceanic plate, while the volcanic arc rises on land

3. continental-continental boundaries: this occurs due to the massive crust of slabs clashing against each other. Thereby leading to big mountains forming from folded, faulted, and thickened convergent boundaries
