The ocean bottom—a region nearly 2-5 times greater than the total land area of the earth—is a vast frontier that even today is largely unexplored and uncharted. Until about a century ago, the deep-ocean floor was completely accessible, hidden beneath waters averaging over 3, 600 meters deep. Totally without light and subjected intense pressures hundreds of times greater than at the Earth’s surface, the deep-ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans, in some ways as forbidding and remote as the void of out space.
Therefore researchers have been taking samples of deep-ocean rocks and sediments for over a century, the first detailed global investigation of the ocean bottom did actually start until 1968, with the beginning of the National Science Foundation’s Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP). Used techniques first developed for the offshore oil and gas industry, the DSDP’s drill ship, the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain steady position on the ocean’s surface and drill in very deep waters, extracting samples of sediments and rock from the ocean floor.
The Glomar Challenger’s core samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct that the planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to calculate what it will probably look like millions of years in the future. Today largely on the strength of evidence gathered during the Glomar Challenger’s voyages, nearly all earth scientists agree with the theories of plate construction and continental drift that explain many of the geology processes that shape the Earth.
选项
答案
geology→geological
解析
同性错误。此句意为:……几乎地球上所有的科学家都同意板块构建学说和大陆漂移学说,这两个学说解释了形成地球的许多地质过程。其中“地质过程”不应该是geology processes,而应该用形容词geological来修饰。
