| what happens when you add sugar to water | the sugar dissolves |
| True or false The particles of liquid water are closer together than the particles of the same volume of frozen water | true |

| Which has more salt in it seawater or brackish water | seawater |
| What are the three regions of continental margins | Continental shelf, slope, and rise |
| What do scientist need when classifying ocean zones | they need the sunlight, temperature, salinity and density |
| Explain why river water near the ocean maybe salty | It my be salty because the water in the ocean my have flowed into the river or it might of evaporated and then fell into the river. |
| What is an ocean current | This is a large volume of water flowing in a certain direction. |
| How do prevailing winds influence ocean currents | The influence the direction and formation of the current |
| What is a gyre | This is a system of currents going in a circle motion |
| What is a upwelling | This is the vertical movement of water |
| What direction do density currents go | The go up and down (vertical) |
| What makes the southeast Unites States warmer | The gulf stream |
| What make Southern California cooler than Florida | The California Costal |
