down to the oceans

                    down to the oceans    This time am going to write about four more oceanic features. Continental shelf This a gently sloping area that borders a continent. It extends offshore from almost nothing to 1000 miles wide and about 180 meters deep. Continental slope This a very steep slope that drops down from the continental shelf. It could be 12 miles wide and 10000 feet deep. Abbysal plane   This is the most level surface of planet Earth. If sediment collects over the rough parts of the ocean floor we call it an abbysal plane. Mid ocean ridges these are continuous mountain chains that can be found in every big ocean. They represent more than 20 percent of Earth’s surface.   (photos are from internet) And with that, I complete DOWN TO THE OCEANS. please keep visiting my blog.

CALL OF THE BIRDS

  CALL OF THE BIRDS   These are some photos that I captured of different types of birds I have seen. The photos were captured in different times and different days. I am sharing some of them with you.   Following are some photographs of LOTEN’S SUNBIRD. I captured these photos from our home garden.   Next is a photo of a flying PAINTED STORK. This, I captured from our balcony. This is a photo of an ORIENTAL HONEY-BUZZARD. This bird was sitting on a quite far away coconut tree. This next photo is a  WHITE-BELLIED DRONGO. It was moving on the wall of our balcony. This photo is of a SPOTTED DOVE. It was sitting (and also calling) on an electricity cable that is close to our house. A LESSER SRI LANKA FLAMEBACK. This species is endemic to Sri Lanka. This is a COMMON MYNA.   Hope you enjoyed. Will meet again in the next post.
