The correct answer is - b. small swarms can eat the same amount of vegetation in one day as an elephant.

The desert locusts are a true nemeses to the agriculture. They create swarms, be it large or small, they have millions of locusts in them, and for their size, they can eat a lot. A small swarm, can indeed eat as much as an elephant in one day, so when they do get to the plants they consider as food they are destroying them in a very rapid manner, and if it is a big swarm in question, in only few hours they can massacre hundreds of acres.

"The ocean and continental crust that we see is actually submerged. Approximately, how much of the crust is typically submerged

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Continental crust is about 20 to 70 km thick and thus 70% of this submerged and oceanic crust being about 10 km thick is only 30 % submerged.

Explanation:

As the hydrological crust is considered to be much denser than the oceanic crust hence at the subduction zones the crusts sink into the mantel and are beneath the lighter continental crust as the oceanic crust is much older than the continental crust. As the continental crust forms many layers and has a bulk composition and the average density is about 2.83 g/cm and has a thickness of about 7 to 10 km.
