An empty office chair is at rest on the floor Consider the following forces Gravity Upward force exerted by the floor A net downward force exerted by air What forces are acting on the office chair?

The forces acting on the office chair are gravity pulling it downwards and the upward force exerted by the floor counteracting gravity to keep the chair at rest. The net downward force exerted by air will have a negligible effect and can be ignored in this scenario.


Which portion of the ocean floor is rich in mineral deposits that are sometimes mined and drilled?

The portion of the ocean floor that is rich in mineral deposits and often mined or drilled is known as the deep sea floor or abyssal plain. These areas can contain valuable resources like manganese nodules, hydrothermal vents, and polymetallic sulfides. Mining operations in these areas can have environmental impacts on deep-sea ecosystems.


Why does disstilled water evaporate faster than water?

The water on the floor has more area exposed to the air it means glass or walls of container or walls of glass restrict water to expose to air rapidly like water on the floor has more area to evaporate......


Does the continental slope drops downward dramatically and is it considered a boundary line?

Yes, the continental slope descends steeply from the continental shelf into the deep ocean floor. It marks the boundary between the continental crust and the oceanic crust.


What is most of the sea floor covered in from non-explosive eruptions?

Most of the sea floor is covered in basaltic lava flows resulting from non-explosive eruptions. These flows create features such as pillow lavas, which form when lava erupts under water and cools rapidly. Additionally, the sea floor is often blanketed by sediments that accumulate over time, including biogenic materials and volcanic ash. Together, these layers contribute to the diverse geology of the ocean floor.
