The Earth’s rivers constantly carry dissolved salts into its oceans.Clearly, therefore, by taking the resulting increase in salt levels in the oceans over the past hundred years and then determining how many centuries of such increases it would have taken the oceans to reach current salt levels from a hypothetical initial salt-free state, the maximum age of the Earth’s oceans can be accurately estimated.
用近几百年的数据推算年龄的最大值(说明)最近纪念的数据不能偏大,只能偏小
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument depends?
The quantities of dissolved salts deposited by rivers in the Earth’s oceans have not been unusually large during the past hundred years.
At any given time, all the Earth’s rivers have about the same salt levels.(无关)
There are salts that leach into the Earth’s oceans directly from the ocean floor.
There is no method superior to that based on salt levels for estimating the maximum age of the Earth’s oceans.
None of the salts carried into the Earth’s oceans by rivers are used up by biological activity in the oceans.(没有时间的比较)就算用掉了,什么时候?还是一直?
