Answer:

DSV-4 can dive 5,000 feet (1,524 meters) deeper than the famed Alvin; however, the Super Alvin-class replacement for DSV-2 is designed to dive to 22,000 feet (6,705 meters).A nuclear submarine can dive to a depth of about 300m. This one is larger than the research vessel Atlantis and has a crew of 134. The average depth of the Caribbean Sea is 2,200 meters, or about 1.3 miles. The average depth of the world's oceans is 3,790 meters, or 12,400 feet, or 2 1⁄3 miles.

Answer:

"Island ArcsIsland arcs are long, curved chains of oceanic islands associated with seismic activity and mountain-building processes at certain plate boundaries. They occur where oceanic tectonic plates collide. Along one side of these island arcs, there is usually a long, narrow deep-sea trench.At island arcs, the denser plate is subducted and is forced into the partially molten mantle under the less dense plate. The islands are composed of the extrusive igneous rocks basalt and andesite. The basalt originates most likely from the plastic mantle. The andesite originates most likely from the melting of parts of the descending plate and sediments that had accumulated on its surface.Which list identifies minerals present in andesite from the greatest percentage by volume to the least percentage by volume? "
As the different situations and events gave rise to the seven different tectonic plates which comprises the over all structure of the planet, as there are a number of geological sites that took there shape because of the movement of the different planetary regions, layers, or the components which makes up the deep down trenches and the islands along with the different volcanic hotspots.
Mostly the subduction region is only due the movement or the sliding of the different tectonic plates which gives rise to a way different catastrophic events like the creation of the seismic way may generate the earth quakes inside the different regions.
Along, with that the different climates across the globe are also due the difference in such geological sites.

Answer:

It was mainly due to the lack of knowledge on the type of attack that was launched against them. But also the advanced weaponry including the long swords that were used that were as strong and sharp as possible.

Explanation:

This was due to the dedication the Spanish had to specialisation of different aspects like weaponry and the confusion that the Incas felt during this as a result of the surprise attack that was launched by the Spanish conquistadors.
