31、ssage 1/B(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The continents are entirely surrounded by what is called the “continental shelf“ which slopes very gradually to a depth of about 500 feet. This shelf is built up of sediment (沉积的) which has been brought down to the sea by the continental rivers. Where the land near the coast
32、 is low and flat, the continental shelf may extend thirty, forty or even more miles from the coast; where mountain ranges run parallel to the sea and near to it (as on the east coast of Africa) the shelf is narrowed to only a mile or two.From the edge of the shelf the sea-bed slopes sharply downward
33、s so that the depth of water from the surface rapidly becomes greater, down to perhaps twelve thousands feet, to the floor of the ocean, the “abyss“.

34、ld.The abyss (深渊), the great ocean floor under two miles or more of water, is not flat like a plain. On the contrary, it is more mountainous than the land.

35、f some of the chief mountain chains has been known (but not in any detail) for many years.

From all these ships, crossing all the seas of the world, information is accumulating faster than ma

45、nd in killing weeds. It is also used to make water soft, to melt ice on roads and highways, to make soap, and to fix colours in cloth.Salt can be obtained in various ways besides being taken from mines underground.
