Why ship doenot sink in ocean?
Ships don't sink in the ocean because the air pressure pushes the ship upward and keeps it buoyant-------------------------------- Ships don't sink because the overall density of the ship is lower than the density of the salt water and it displaces its weight's equivalent of water using only a portion of the ship's volume.
How do ships pollute the ocean?
Ships can pollute the ocean through oil spills, waste discharge, and emissions of pollutants like sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides. Accidental spills from oil tankers or leaks from ship engines can harm marine ecosystems and wildlife. Additionally, dumping untreated sewage and garbage can introduce harmful bacteria and toxins into the ocean.
Is it true that during the 1940s and 1950s scientists began using radar on moving ships to map large areas of the ocean floor in detail?
Yes, that is true. Scientists began using radar on moving ships to map large areas of the ocean floor in detail during the 1940s and 1950s. This method, known as swath mapping, allowed for more accurate and comprehensive mapping of the ocean floor compared to previous techniques.
What is the difference between inland and ocean going waterways?
inland waterways:Inland waterways include transport through navigable rivers and canals.ocean routes:Navigation along the coastal places and foreign countries take place with the help of ships.
Does solas covers inland ships?
The International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) primarily applies to ships engaged in international voyages. While it sets comprehensive safety standards for ocean-going vessels, it does not generally cover inland ships, which are typically governed by national or regional regulations. However, some countries may choose to adopt SOLAS standards or similar safety measures for their inland waterways.
How many ships are there?

What provides passage for ships between and Pacific Ocean?
Your question is missing a word.
Duluth Minnesota is about 1500 miles inland from the Atlantic ocean yet oceangoing enter its harbor how?
Ocean-going ships can travel from the Atlantic Ocean to Duluth Minnesota through the St. Lawrence Seaway, which is a series of canals, locks, rivers and lakes that is the world's longest inland waterway that can handle ocean-going vessels. In 1959 President Dwight Eisenhower and Great Britian's Queen Elizabeth II formally opened the Seaway. The maximum allowed ocean-going vessel size is 740 feet (225.6 meters) long, 78 feet (23.8 meters) wide and 26 feet (7.9 meters) deep. Only 10% of ocean-going ships may travel the entire length of the Seaway.
What is the value of the St Lawrence Seaway?
The St Lawrence Seaway permits large ocean-going ships to load and unload at inland ports such as Thunder Bay and Chicago, thus reducing transportation costs.
Why did they carry slaves is ships?

What canal permits passage between the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean?
The Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean. It was created to shorten trips of ships.
Which state began as a port where ocean going ships docked?

What is the nonexistent path through North America that early explorers searched for that would allow ships to sail from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean?
Northwest Passage
How is it possible for ships from ports over 1000 miles inland to sail to ports around the world?
Ships from inland ports can reach the ocean through interconnected waterways, such as rivers, canals, and locks. Once they reach the ocean, they can sail to ports around the world using established international shipping routes. Navigation technology and infrastructure make it possible for ships to travel long distances across oceans.
Why do ships in the open ocean not notice passage of a tsunami wave?
Seismic waves moving through the ocean do not form tsunami's until they approach land. At that point the forward motion of the waves pile up on the land and form a series of forward flows that do not have an opportunity to recede due to the following waves. As a result, the waves keep coming on top of the previous waves and come farther inland. Ships at sea do not notice the tsunami until they are over the continental shelf.
