Which statement best explains why scientists depend on submersibles to study ocean features?

A. The extreme pressure and freezing temperatures of the deep ocean make it dangerous to send humans to the greatest ocean depths.

B. The vastness of the ocean environment makes it difficult for any single ship to collect enough data to produce accurate maps.

C. Signals used to collect remote sensing data cannot travel through ocean water.

D. The greater salinity of surface waters corrodes metals used to construct ocean vessels.

ANSWER:

The statement "the extreme pressure and freezing temperatures of the deep ocean make it dangerous to send humans to the greatest ocean depths" best explains why scientists depend on submersibles to study ocean features .

EXPLANATION:

  • The oceans are so vast and deep that humans cannot withstand the pressure in depths.
  • Submersibles are developed in such a manner that they can travel to the deepest parts of the ocean and study ocean life.
  • Submersibles are vehicles that have the capability to carry humans as well to the deep ocean floors or these can be controlled in an automatic manner.
  • The submersibles are provided with tools and technologies that can record ocean floor features and make their study possible.
