Explanation:

The given query in SQL that selects the employee ID, name, department ID, salary, and department location of employees who work in the departments located in either 'PERTH' or 'MELBOURNE' and whose hire date is more than 10 months ago from the current date.

The statement joins the 'employees' and 'department' tables based on the common column dep_id.

The "WHERE" clause restricts the results to employees whose department location is either 'PERTH' or 'MELBOURNE' using the "IN" operator, and it further filters the results to employees whose hire date is more than 10 months ago from the current date using the "age" and "EXTRACT" functions. The "age" function calculates the difference between the current date and the hire date, and the "EXTRACT" function extracts the month value from the result of the "age" function.
