| Question: Density of an object is 17 g/mL and has a mass of 34 g. What is the volume of the object? | Answer: 2 mL |
| Question: You have two objects: Object A has a mass of 4g and volume of 2mL. Object B has a mass of 15 g and volume of 5 mL. Which object would float in a liquid with a density of 2.5 g/mL? | Answer: Object A would float (density = 2 g/mL). Object B would sink (3 g/mL). |
| Question: What is the volume of a box that has the following dimensions? 9 cm long, 5 cm tall, 3 cm wide | Answer: 135 cm^3 |
| Question: What is the density of a box with a volume of 412 cm^3 and a mass of 42 g? | 0.102 g/cm^3 |
| Question: You have an egg with a density of 1.03 g/mL. Will it float or sink in the Chesapeake Bay? | Answer: It will sink in the Chesapeake Bay, which has a brackish estuary mix of seawater (1.03 g/mL) and fresh water (1.0 g/mL). |
| Question: What is the name of the layer between fresh water and salt water? | Answer: Halocline (halo = salt, cline = boundary) |
| Question: What is the changing balance of salt water and fresh water in the Chesapeake Bay called - the scientific words. | Answer: Dynamic Equilibrium |
| Question: Calculate the density of a 500 g rectangular rock with dimensions of length = 8 cm, width = 6 cm, height = 5 cm. | Answer: 2.08 g/cm^3 |
| Question: You go swimming in the Dead Sea, which has a whopping density of 1.24 g/mL. You checked your scale recently and weighed in at 70,000 g. What does your minimum volume need to be in order to float in the Dead Sea? | Answer: 56,451 mL or 56.5 L (You'll probably float - that puts you right at the same density, so you still may need more volume) |
| Question: The Mediterranean Sea has a salinity of 38 ppt and temperature of 16 Celsius. Would Pacific Ocean Sea water float or sink when added to a cup of Mediterranean Sea Water? | Answer: Float - Pacific Ocean water is less saline and therefore less dense. Pacific water would need to be cooled considerably in order to make it sink. |
| Question: A Blue sample of water has a salinity of 33 ppt and temperature of 10 Celsius. A Yellow sample of water has a salinity of 34 ppt and a temperature of 15 Celsius. Which sample would float on top? | Answer: Neither. Both have a density of slightly lower than 1.0255 according to the TDS chart. |
| Question: You have a Warm sample of Brackish water and a Cold sample of Atlantic Ocean water. What is the name of the layer between the samples of water? | Answer: Pycnocline - there is a density gradient that is made up of both temperature and salinity differences. |
| Question: The Pacific Ocean has lower salinity near the poles and at the equator. Why is the salinity so much lower near the poles? | Answer: Freshwater runoff due to glacial and polar ice cap melt |
| Question: You put an object of 1 g/mL into a fluid with a density of 3 g/mL. Will the object float or sink? | Answer: Object will float because the density is lower. |
| Question: You put an object with a density of 4.17 g/mL into a fluid with a density of 4.17 g/mL. What will happen to the object? | Answer: Object will neither float nor sink - it will bob around in the fluid, but not rest on the bottom or at the top of the water. |
| Question: You have 30 mL of water into which you drop a crystal that brings the water level to 35 mL. The mass of the graduated cylinder was 40 g before the object was added and 58 g after. Could this crystal be a diamond?! diamond = 3.55 g/cm^3 | Answer: Yes, it could be! Volume = 5 mL Mass = 18 g Density = 3.6 g/mL |
| Question: You drop a rock into water and the rock sinks. What can you Infer from this? | Answer: The rock's density is greater than 1.0 g/mL (water). |
| Question: You drop a rock into water and the rock floats. What can you infer from this? | Answer: The rock's density is less than 1.0 g/mL (water). You might even know that the only rocks that float are volcanic extrusive in origin - pumice & scoria are full of air pockets! |
| Question: What density is water with a Salinity of 35 ppt ad a temperature of 10 Celsius? | Answer: Density from TDS chart is 1.0270 g/mL |
| Question: What temperature is water with a density of 1.0255 g/mL and a salinity of 34 ppt? | Answer: Temperature from TDS chart is 14 Celsius. (You don't get to claim it if you said 15!) |
| Question: What is the salinity of water with a density of 1.0235 g/mL and a temperature of 19.5 Celsius? | Answer: Salinity is 33.0 ppt. |
| Question: Water has a salinity of 32.5 ppt and density is currently 1.0245 g/mL. What is the temperature in Fahrenheit? | Answer: Celsius temperature is 12. This converts to 53.6 Fahrenheit. |
| Question: If you have a sample of warm water (dyed red) and cold water (dyed blue), which would layer on top? | Answer: Warm water - it is less dense than cold water and will move to the top if the temperature gradient is significant |
| Question: What are the three factors that affect the density of an object. | Answer: Atomic mass, temperature, and pressure |
| Question: Water at the bottom of the ocean has a temp of about 2 Celsius. Would that water be more of less dense than a cup of ice water at 2 Celsius in the classroom? | Answer: Water at bottom of ocean is more dense due to the pressure of the water column above. |
| Question: What causes water to rise up from the ocean floor? | Answer: When deep water currents collide with continents they create upwelling. |
| Question: What type of Circulation causes the movement of the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt? | Answer: Thermohaline Circulation (Thermo = heat, haline = salt) |
| Question: Insolation creates what kind of differences on Earth's surface? | Answer: Temperature differences. Insolation is heat from the sun , which strikes the earth directly at the equator (high insolation) and at an angle at the poles (low insolation). |
| Question: What type of body of water is the Chesapeake Bay? | Answer: Estuary |
| Question: Where does most of the water in the Chesapeake Bay come from? | Answer: Susquehanna River |
| Question: Some years the salinity of the bay is very high, what weather conditions could cause this? | Answer: Very dry years with little precipitation. |
| Question: Some years the salinity in the Chesapeake Bay is very low, what weather conditions could cause this? | Answer: Very wet years with a great deal of precipitation. |
| Question: The dynamic equilibrium in the Chesapeake Bay is due primarily to what two factors? | Answer: Freshwater inflow and Tidal Inflow from the Atlantic Ocean |
| Question: Where does the Great Ocean Conveyor Belt begin? | Answer: At the poles - dense cold, salty water sinks at both the North and South poles. |
| Question: What type of energy transfer is driving Thermohaline circulation? | Answer: Convection |
| Question: What causes the Ocean to stratify? | Answer: Density gradients between warm, less salty water and cold, more salty water. |
| Question: What could cause Thermohaline Circulation to stop? | Answer: If the Poles were to stop freezing, Global Warming, or Climate Change are three possible answers |
| Question: Where are the Ocean temperatures highest? | Answer: Near the Equator |
| Question: What are the five tributary rivers of the Chesapeake Bay? | Answer: Susquehanna, Potomac, Rappahannock, York, James |
| Question: 35.5 Million Years ago what event created the Chesapeake Bay? | Answer: Meteorite Impact |
| Question: What part of the water cycle is evaporation through tree respiration? | Answer: Transpiration |
| Question: What part of the water cycle washes nutrients like Phosphates and Nitrates into the Chesapeake bay, causing Algal Blooms? | Answer: Runoff |
