Answer:

Dead Sea

Step-by-step explanation:

Igneous rocks are divided into groups. Granite and andesite (the most common) and basalt, which is a denser form of volcanic rock. The latter is uncommon on the surface, but forms most of the ocean floor. Sedimentary rock accounts for 75% of the continental surface. It is formed when sediments accumulate and compact. Metamorphic rocks are the product of the transformation of igneous or sedimentary rocks by heat and pressure. They form materials such as gneiss, slate, marble, shale and quartzite.

The surface elevation varies from -418 meters (in the Dead Sea) to 8,848 meters high at the top of Mount Everest. The average height above sea level is 840 meters. Normally, we divide the planet between northern and southern hemispheres. Sometimes we also use the division between the western and eastern hemisphere, although it is somewhat more arbitrary. The Earth's land masses are divided into continents: Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, South America and Antarctica.
