Sent by Brie. Editor: Brie, fennel is a bulbous vegetable with a tall, wispy, fronded top that looks rather like dill. The fronds can be used in salads, but the main attraction of fennel is the bulb itself. It's very firm and crunchy, and it tastes a bit like licorice and anise. It has a fresh, bright taste and it's one of our favorite vegetables for salads and slaws. It can also be grilled or braised until tender.
Origin of the Ocean Basins. The ocean basins are the result of tectonic forces and processes. All of the ocean basins were formed from volcanic rock that was released from fissures located at the mid-oceanic ridges. The oldest rocks found in these basins are approximately 200 million years old. This is a lot younger than the oldest continental rocks which have ages greater than 4 billion years.
Occurs when ocean crust sinks under continental crust, it sinks because it's colder and denser,at these sites, deep-ocean trenches also form along with coastal mountains.s t â¦ he oceanic crust moves, these trenches often causes underwater earthquake, as the crust sinks under a continent, the crust buckles to form a range of mountains, like island arcs, parallel to a deep-ocean trench.
