What are the two major regions of land under the water?
The two major regions of land under the water are the continental shelf, which is the relatively shallow area surrounding continents, and the ocean basins, which are deeper areas beyond the continental shelf that make up most of the ocean floor.
Which rock was most likely formed from pebble sized sediment deposited in shallow water at an ocean shoreline?
Conglomerate rock is most likely formed from pebble-sized sediment deposited in shallow water at an ocean shoreline. The pebbles are typically rounded due to erosion in water, and they can become cemented together to form the conglomerate rock.
Why are basalt and granite important igneous rock?
As it turns out, most of the ocean floor is basalt, and most of the continents are granite.
Where is most of the earths water?
the ocean
Where on earth does ocean water get warmed the most by the sun?
Ocean water is warmed most by the sun in the tropics, particularly in regions close to the equator. Areas like the Caribbean Sea and the western Pacific Ocean experience higher temperatures due to direct sunlight year-round. Additionally, shallow coastal regions can heat up more quickly than deeper waters, contributing to localized warming.
Describe the water in which coral reefs are found?
Coral reefs are found in salt water, on the ocean floor. Most often they are found in warm, shallow water.
Can coral reefs live at the bottom of the ocean?
It depends on how deep the bottom is. Coral can only survive in relatively shallow water, so most of the ocean floor is coral free.
What are the adaptaions of plants in ocean?
Because ocean plants need sunlight, most are either designed to float on the surface of the water, or grow on the ocean floor in water that is shallow enough to receive adequate sunlight. They also have adapted to salty water. Some are: kelp, seaweed. seagrass and algae.
What must you pass over before you are sailing above the ocean floor?
Most landmasses lie on what is known as 'the continetal shelf' - a region of relatively shallow water extending up to some hundred of kilometres off the coast. This gives way, either gradually or suddenly, to the true ocean floor.
What are the two major regions of land under the water?
The two major regions of land under the water are the continental shelf, which is the relatively shallow area surrounding continents, and the ocean basins, which are deeper areas beyond the continental shelf that make up most of the ocean floor.
What is most of the floor of the North Pacific Ocean covered with?
Biogenous are dominant on deep-ocean floors.
Most of the ocean floor is made up of the?
Most of the ocean floor is made up of ocean plains.
Which rock was most likely formed from pebble sized sediment deposited in shallow water at an ocean shoreline?
Conglomerate rock is most likely formed from pebble-sized sediment deposited in shallow water at an ocean shoreline. The pebbles are typically rounded due to erosion in water, and they can become cemented together to form the conglomerate rock.
What ocean zone contains most organisms?
Most plants and animals live in the Sunlit Zone.
Which rock was most likely formed from pebble-sized sediment deposited in shallow water at an ocean shoreline?
Conglomerate rock is most likely formed from pebble-sized sediment deposited in shallow water at an ocean shoreline. As the pebbles accumulate, they cement together to form the rock.
Why is surface temperature of the oceans more variable than the water near the ocean floor?
Because Most Energy is EXCHANGED at the surface!
What is the Most anaerobic zone in the ocean?
The ocean floor is the most anaerobic zone in the ocean.
