Read the following passage and mark the letter A,B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each
of the following questions from 46 to 55 .
The ocean bottom- a region nearly 2.5 times greater than 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 inaccessible , hidden
beneath waters averaging over 3,6000 meters deep. Totally without light and subjected to intense pressures hundreds of
times greater than at the Earths surface, deep-ocean bottom is a hostile environment to humans , in some ways as
forbidding and remote as the void of outer space.
Although researchers have taken samples of deep-ocean rocks and sediments for over a century, the first detailed global
investigation of the ocean bottom did not actually start until 1968, with the beginning of the National Science
Foundations Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP). Using techniques first developed for the offshore oil gas industry, the
Dads drill ship , the Glomar Challenger, was able to maintain a steady position on the oceans surface and drill in very
deep waters, extracting samples of sediments and rock from the ocean floor.
The Glomar Challenger completed 96 voyages in a 15 year research program that ended in November 1983. During this
time, the vessel logged 600,000 kilometers and took almost 20,000 core samples of seabed sediments and rocks at 624
drilling sites around the world . The Glomar Challengers core samples have allowed geologists to reconstruct what the
planet looked like hundreds of millions of years ago and to calculate what it will problem look like millions of years in the
future. Today , largely on the strength of evidence gathered during the Glomar Challengers voyages, nearly all earth
scientists agree on the theories of plate tectonics and continental drift that explain many of the geological processes that
shape the Earth.
The cores of sediment drilled by the Glomar Challenger have also yielded information critical to understanding the
worlds past climates . Deep-ocean sediments provide a climatic record stretching back hundreds of millions of years,
because they are largely isolated from the mechanical erosion and the intense chemical and biological activity that rapidly
destroy much land-based evidence of past climates. This record has already provided insights into the patterns and causes
of past climatic change-information that may be used to predict future climates
