Answer:

Oceanic water have latent heat or special heat capacity.

How much you know about earthquakes?
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

Me do

Explanation:

An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault. The tectonic plates are always slowly moving, but they get stuck at their edges due to friction.

There are many different types of earthquakes: tectonic, volcanic, and explosion. The type of earthquake depends on the region where it occurs and the geological make-up of that region. The most common are tectonic earthquakes.

The National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) locates an average of 50 earthquakes every day, or about 20,000 a year.

4. At what depth is the salinity level the lowest? *
rewona [7]

Answer:

This salinity versus depth profile is typical of the South Atlantic ocean. ... In this profile, salinity at the surface is high (evaporation at this latitude is high) and then salinity decreases until a depth of about 1,000 meters. Salinity then increases again slightly with increasing depth. The ocean around Antarctica has a low salinity of just below 34ppt, and around the Arctic it is down to 30ppt in places.

Hope this helps, have a great day/night, and stay safe!
