The temperature of the oceanic water is important for phytoplanktons as well as zooplanktons. The temperature of sea water also affects the climate of coastal lands and plants...
Ocean beds are rich in potential mineral and organic resources. Much of these resources, however, are not easily accessible, so their recovery involves technological challenges and high cost....
Diatoms are microscopic single-celled photosynthetic organisms. Each one lives inside a protective silica test, most of which contain two halves that fit together very much similar to a...
Ocean sediments are particles and fragments of dirt, dust, and other debris that have settled out of the water and accumulated on the ocean floor. The crucial importance...
Landforms are defined as the geomorphologic units defined by its surface form and location in the landscape. Landforms are typical elements of the topography. The water body interfaces...
Plateau is an elevated tract of relatively flat land, usually limited on at least one side by a steep slope falling abruptly to lower land. It may also...
Orogeny is primarily the mechanism by which mountains are built on continents due to the large structural deformation of the Earth’s lithosphere caused by Plate Tectonics. Orogenesis involves...
The entire Earth has been divided into several Geological Provinces on the basis of their origin. A geologic or geomorphic province is an entity with common geologic or...
The Earth’s surface is composed of six major lithospheric plates’ viz. Pacific, American, Eurasian, African, Austral-Indian, and Antarctic. Apart from those, there are some lesser plates and sub...
Lithosphere is made up of about a dozen giant and several smaller sections called plates, and these move in various directions in processes known collectively as plate tectonics....
