Why is it important to have maps of the ocean floor, such as those gathered with SeaBeam technology

Biology

Anni [7]2 years ago

Since oceans cover 71% of the Earth’s surface, understanding what the seafloor looks like, and where different processes, such as ocean currents are active, is hugely important. Mapping the seafloor helps to work out things like where different types of fish live, where resources may be, such as rare metals and fossil fuels, and whether there is a risk of underwater landslides happening that might cause a tsunami. Mapping the seafloor is very challenging, because some cannot use the same techniques that some would use on land. To map the deep ocean, there's a tool used called a multibeam echo-sounder, which is attached to a ship or a submarine vessel.

What percent of one’s daily caloric intake should come from carbohydrates?
NISA [10]
This answer will vary a lot, depending on who you will ask. If you're asking proponents of the LCHF (low carbs, high fat) diet, they would say you should reduce your intake of carbohydrates down to around 10 to 20 percent, making either A or C your desired answer.

If you would ask people who propose the current nutritional guidelines as the best way of eating, the amount of caloric intake that should come from carbs according to them would be more in the range of around 40%, making B the correct answer.

There isn't really any clear cut answer here.
