Nobody When We Begin Using Land Under the Oceans Where Your Body Came From How Marriage Began Man's Willingness to Work The Human Brain Beats the Coal Mines How the Other Planets Will Talk to Us Shall We Do Without Sleep Some Day?
The same principle is thought to explain the exquisite blue colour of the deep seas and oceans and of many lakes and springs.
These are minute, rapidly swimming creatures with thin, glassy shells, and in some parts of the warmer oceans these discarded shells are so numerous on the bottom that they give the name pteropod ooze to the mud.
So turns the impatient needle to the pole, Tho' mountains rise between, and oceans roll.
Yellow roadways, slender and winding, wandered hither and thither through emerald oceans of young grain, past ancient vineyards and orchards of olives, and citrons, and groves of walnuts.
He pressed on, past Caucabe the Star, down the hedges of roses between the emerald oceans of young grain and the odorous shade of orchards.
With a wild rush the oceans flood in over the dust that has been nations and continents, and then this dust turns to a fine muddy ooze in the bottom of a worldwide sea.
The oceans never get any fuller of water, because water only flows into the ocean as fast as it evaporates from the ocean.
There is water vapor in the air all around us--invisible water vapor, its molecules mingling with those of the air--water that has evaporated from the oceans and lakes and all wet places.
Why is it that the oceans do not flow off the earth?
The surface of theoceans and lakes is warmed by the sun.
How can it when the water from the oceans cannot evaporate to form clouds?
And that is why lakes and oceans and rivers freeze over the top and do not freeze at the bottom.
The oceans do not flow off the earth at the south pole.
The dead fish would float about in the oceans and lakes.
Most of the oceans of Mars lie in the southern hemisphere.
On the side facing these oceans the continents of Mars are sufficiently elevated to prevent an overflow, but nearer the equator the level of the land sinks lower.
The telegraph and the cable had sent the news across the oceans to all the capitols of the earth.
At this time, but for a device which the Martians have employed, the canals connected with the oceans would run dry, and the vegetation left without moisture under the Summer sun, would quickly perish.
With your telescopes you have no doubt noticed that there is a great bending sea connecting the oceans of the south with those of the north and running through the midst of the continents.
With the melting of these snows," continued Aina, "a rapid rise in the level of the water in the southern oceans occurs.
And there, indeed, it was, its great globe rolling under our eyes, with the contrasted colors of the continents and clouds and the watery gleam of the oceans spread beneath us.
He hated "morbid and introspective tales, with their oceans of sham philosophy.
On the north and east are the Koolau and Kaupo Gaps, as deep as the crater, through which oceans of lava found their way to the sea.
The former conditions must depend on many contingencies, and in the deep oceans where coral formations most abound, a basis within the requisite depth can rarely be present.
As I was saying, the continents are built of the lighter granite, chiefly, while the oceans lie on the heavier basalt.
Then I should think the oceans would be growing deeper," ventured Pedro.
That is to say, the oceans every year receive from the surface of the United States seven hundred and eighty-three millions of tons of rock materials.
Of course the oceans have periodically flooded the margins of the continents at such times, in long troughs where now stand our Appalachian and Rocky Mountain ranges, leaving their deposits.
Yes,--the salt of course remained behind, so that the oceans have been growing constantly saltier since the earth began.
Especially as theoceans are growing larger all the time.
At these times when the lands are at their highest and the oceans are smallest in breadth, (because greatest in depth), the continents are united by land-bridges such as those we have now uniting North and South America.
In the Pacific and Indian Oceans one must still bring his own deck-chair on board or go without, just as in the old forgotten Atlantic times--those Dark Ages of sea travel.
Voyages in the Pacific and Indian Oceans are but pleasure excursions for all hands.
It is easy to make plans in this world; even a cat can do it; and when one is out in those remote oceans it is noticeable that a cat's plans and a man's are worth about the same.
Now, when earth and oceans are "changed" to this sort of tenuity creations will be more easy.
We never want a breath but there are oceans of it rushing to answer our hunger for it.
We may now suppose the ocean waters nearly exhausted and only the mighty rivers that had made that ocean were left to flow; indeed, the rising Sierras of some range unknown at the present may have shut off whole oceans of rain.
The bottoms of the oceans are far from level, and each deep basin has its own peculiar fauna.
There are known at the present about twenty thousand species of fishes, which are distributed throughout the creeks, rivers, lakes, seas and oceans of the world.
On Earth the intervention of greatoceans between the continents kept the population restricted to Asia and Egypt for centuries, and to the Old World for a still longer time.
The great planet will exhibit to us at a near range all the configurations of his surface, his oceans and his clouds.
For the first time men began to cross the seas and oceans with some certainty as to the date of their arrival.
This film of water is about five miles thick at its deepest part--that is to say, the deepest oceans have a depth of five miles.
Its surface is rough; the more projecting parts of the roughness are mountains, and in the hollows of its surface there is a film of water, the oceans and seas.
High mountains precipitate moisture from the atmosphere and hold it out of circulation as snow and glaciers, while smaller oceansmean a lesser area for surface evaporation.
All over the oceans there was the same reduction in the time and the same increase in the certainty of human communications.
Perhaps it was in his studio that Christopher first saw a chart, and first fell in love with the magic that can transfer the shapes of oceans and continents to a piece of paper.
He holds in balance, ranged on either hand, Two distant oceans and their sundering land; Commands and drains the interior tracts that lie Outmeasuring Europe's total breadth of sky.
Green swell the mountains, calm the oceans roll, Fresh beams of beauty kindle round the pole; Thro all the range where shores and seas extend, In tenfold pomp the works of peace ascend.
Her plains, long portless, now no more complain Of useless rills and fountains nursed in vain; Canals curve thro them many a liquid line, Prune their wild streams, their lakes and oceans join.
