The continental crust is the layer of granitic and sedimentary rock which forms the continents and the areas of shallow seabed close to their shores, known as continental shelves. It is less dense and more rigid than the material of the Earth's mantle and thus "floats" on top of it. Continental crust is also less dense than oceanic crust, though it is considerably thicker, averaging 20 to 80 km versus the average oceanic thickness of around 5-10 km. As a consequence, when active margins of continental crust meet oceanic crust in subdu ... Including:

Bentonite Clay and its spiritual properties: Intestinal cleanse of the colon is strongly recommended by Kalki and The Golden Age Foundation in order to be fully receptive for pranic energy. It is so vital that it should be the mandatory preparation before all deeper spiritual processes and as a continous maintenance of the body as an antenna of cosmic energies. Bentonite (also available at many pharmacies under alternative substance names to bentonite: bentonitum, montmorillonite) is believed to have exceptionally properties. This article from www.alternativemedicine.com desribes the genereal properties and use of bentonite.

A ship's or boat's anchor is used to attach the vessel to the bottom at a specific point. There are two primary classes of anchors—temporary and permanent. A permanent anchor is often called a mooring, and is rarely moved; it's quite possible the vessel cannot hoist it aboard but must hire a service to move or maintain it. A temporary anchor is usually carried by the vessel, and hoi ... Including:

The Beaufort Sea is a large body of water north of The Northwest Territories, the Yukon, and Alaska and west of Canada's arctic islands that is a part of the Arctic Ocean. Its northwestern boundary is defined by a line connecting Point Barrow, Alaska, and Lands End Prince Patrick Island. It is about 450 thousand square kilometers in area. The sea is named after British hydrographer Sir Francis Beaufort. The large Mackenzie River empties into the sea as do other smaller rivers. It is an important habitat for whales and sea birds and i ...

Whale fall is the term used for a whale carcass that has fallen to the ocean floor. When a whale dies in shallow water, its carcass is typically devoured by scavengers over a relatively short period of time - within several months. However, in deeper water (depths of 2000m or greater), fewer scavenger species exist, and the carcass can provide sustenance for a complex localized ecosystem over periods of up to 100 years. Some of the organisms that have been observed at whale falls are lobsters, crabs, sea cucumbers, octopuses, a ...

SONAR (SOund Navigation And Ranging) — or sonar — is a technique that uses sound propagation under water to navigate or to detect other watercraft. There are two kinds of sonar — active and passive. Sonar - History. In 1906, Lewis Nixon invented the very first passive sonar-type listening device, as a way of detecting icebergs. During World War I, with the need to detect submarines, interest in sonar increased. The French physicist Paul Langevin, worki ... Including:

The Andaman Sea is a body of water to the southeast of the Bay of Bengal, south of Myanmar and west of Thailand; it is part of the Indian Ocean. It is roughly 1200 kilometers long (north-south) and 650 kilometers wide (east-west), with an area of 797,700 km². Its average depth is 870 meters, and the maximum depth is 3,777 meters. At its southeastern reaches, the Andaman Sea narrows to form the Straits of Malacca, which separa ... Including:

Wave power refers to the energy of ocean surface waves and the capture of that energy to do useful work - including electricity generation, desalination, and the pumping of water (into reservoirs). Wave power is a form of renewable energy. Though often co-mingled, wave power is distinct from the diurnal flux of tidal power and the steady gyre of ocean currents. Wave power generation is not a widely employed technology, with only a few experimental sites in existence. Wave power - The waves. In general, larg ... Including:

The sudden vertical rise of the seabed by several metres during the earthquake displaced massive volumes of water, resulting in a tsunami that struck the coasts of the Indian Ocean. A tsunami which causes damage far away from its source is sometimes called a "teletsunami", and is much more likely to be produced by vertical motion of the seabed than by horizontal motion (Earthquakes and tsunamis, Lorca et al.). See a full-length animation of how the waves travelled (large file, about 1 MiB) to s ...
