Question

An offshore oil platform houses a drill for drilling oil. The drill descends from the platform and enters the ocean. At the bottom of the ocean, the
drill starts to dig into the rock. It continues drilling into the rock for another 7,000 feet and then stops. Where does the drill stop?

in the biosphere
in the geosphere
in the atmosphere
in the hydrosphere

Answer 1

Answer:

in the geosphere

Explanation:

The drill will eventually stop within the geosphere.

• The biosphere is the region of the earth populated by living organisms.
• The geosphere is the region of the earth made up of solid rock
• The atmosphere is the gaseous part of the earth.
• The hydrosphere is the liquid part of the earth or where water dominates the earth.

The drill pierces through the geosphere as it initially passes through the hydrosphere. Eventually, the drill stops within the geosphere.
