The largest liquid body on Earth is it's outer core. ooc: Just added "Earth", didn't sound right. |
That's right! 11. Greatest submarine mountain range? |
the Milwaukee Deep? |
"I believe it's the mid-ocean ridge, at about 56 000 kilometers long." |
Mid-Atlantic Ridge [explanation: it is a mostly underwater mountain range of the Atlantic Ocean that runs from 87°N (about 333 km South of the North Pole) to subantarctic Bouvet Island, where it turns into Atlantic-Indian-Ridge and continues further East through Crozet Plateau to the Southwest Indian Ridge, while in the West it is followed by Scotia Ridge.] |
The islands are the highest summits of great submarine mountain ranges that include the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, the world's longest mountain range |
The Mid-Oceanic Ridge (in the Indian Ocean), along with other submarine ridges, encloses a series of deep-sea basins (abyssal plains). The greatest depth (25,344 ft/7,725 m) is in the Java Trench, S of Java, Indonesia. |
Tori didn't know the answer did she mean liquid like water or liquid like lava? |

12. Weakest region in the Earth's magnetic field? |
It's weakest near the equator? |
Dru nodded to the Ravenclaws answer, wishing that she had gotton there first. |
No, there's an actual named point on the earth where it is by far the weakest... |
Dru raised her hand "The Southern Magnetic Anomaly found off the coast of Brazil" |
I'm not sure so I'm going to guess..True North? ooc:lol...that was the only thing I could find..They're reall all that great with using names I suppose.. |

13. Deepest point in the ocean? |
the Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean |
"The greatest known depth is located in the Mindanao Trench (West Pacific) where the British ship Cook (1962) found 11,516 meters in depth exceeding Mount Everest's height by 2,660 meters," says Drusilla. |
Jamie raised her hand and said, "The greatest known depth is located in the Mindanao Trench (West Pacific) where the British ship Cook (1962) found 11,516 meters in depth exceeding Mount Everest's height by 2,660 meters." |
Marianas Trench near Guam at 10,924 meters (35,839 feet). |
Jen raised her hand. "The Marina's Trench off the coast of Guam in the Pacific Ocean." |

The deepest point in the Mariana Trench and in the oceans is Challenger Deep which is three hundred and forty kilometers off the coast of Guam. |
Ya huh! 14. Largest iceberg recorded? |
Cristy raises her hand. "The largest iceberg ever recored was Iceberg B15, which calved from the Ross Ice Shelf". |
Martha raises her hand and says, "The largest icebergs (also referred to as ice islands) originate from the vast ice shelves surrounding Antarctica. The largest-known iceberg was from this region. It was roughly the size of the state of Rhode Island. The tallest known iceberg in the North Atlantic was 550 feet high. Extending out of the water to almost the height of the Washington Monument, it is the tallest iceberg recorded to date." |
