What is the total water pressure on a 600 cubic foot cylindrical vessel at 100 feet of depth in the ocean?
The water pressure depends only on the depth, not on the size or shape of the vessel. The pressure increases at about 1 atmosphere (or bar) every 10 meters.
What are the four ocean in order of largest to smallest?
Pacific Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean and Southern Ocean
What is the importance of the continental slope?
The continental slope is crucial for several reasons. It serves as a transitional zone between the shallow waters of the continental shelf and the deep ocean, playing a key role in marine ecosystems and biodiversity. Additionally, it is rich in resources such as oil, gas, and minerals, making it significant for economic activities like fishing and energy exploration. Furthermore, the slope influences ocean currents and sediment transport, impacting climate and marine life.
What are the probable sources of salt in the atmosphere?
the ocean. water from the ocean evaporates into the air, ocean water has salt in it.
What fraction is 2 3rds for Arctic ocean?
This question cannot be answered in a sensible way. First of all, there is no artic ocean. The nearest is Arctic Ocean. Next, the fraction 2/3 is the same, whether in the Arctic ocean, or on the moon!
How much is ocean or salt water?
There are a number of variables which will determine the exact weight. It is generally accepted that the weight is 64lbs per cubic foot
Do bacteria live in all parts of the Earth?
Yes; and a recent study has showed that "when you go Anywhere within the Ocean bottom and you obtain a 'one cubic meter' sample;" you are actually obtaining a full one cubic meter of Bacteria.
When sediment sinks into the ocean floor it is called?
When sediment sinks into the ocean floor, it is called sedimentation. Over time, layers of sediment build up and compress to form sedimentary rocks.
How does sediment that is closer to a mid ocean ridge compare to sediment that is farther away?
it is older
What type of sediment represents a relatively small portion of the overall sediment in the ocean?
hydrogenous
As rivers flow into the ocean and deposit thick layers of sediment on the ocean floor what will the crust under the sediment do?
the crust will cool to form metamorphic rock
How does sediment that is closer to a mid ocean ridge compare to sediment that is father away?
It's thinner
What is a narrow column of sediment found in the ocean?
United
What is an ocean floor sediment?
broken up rocks
Where on the ocean floor is sediment the thickest?
the thickest accumulation of sediment on the ocean floor is at the CONTINENTAL SLOPES AND RISES. :)
What is the triangular or fan shaped deposit of sediment that forms where a river empties into an ocean or lake?
silt This trianguar deposit of sediment where a river empties into an ocean is called a delta.
What happens to the sediment that is carried by water?
Sediment carried by water can be deposited along riverbanks, in lakes, or the ocean, forming sediment layers. It can also be transported over long distances and eventually settle at the ocean floor. Sediment can impact aquatic ecosystems, increase turbidity, and contribute to erosion.
