The sound waves were bent by this temperature gradient, hiding a sub as effectively as if it were behind a hill. Equipped with...
...mantle rock at its sides is heavier, it moves in, forcing upward the dragged-down crust and the sediments in the trough. Final result is that the former trench pokes above the sea, appearing as an arc of islands set with volcanoes, like Japan, or a curving shore of young mountains, like California...
