|---|---|
| panthalassa | one giant body of ocean water |
| pangaea | one giant landmass of continents |
| salinity | measure of the amount of dissolved solids in a given amount of liquid |
| temperature | measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles (how hot or cold) |
| heat | a form of energy that transfers an amount of particles |
| sea level | level of the oceans surface |
| sea | parts of the global ocean that is partly surrounded by land |
| What does SONAR stand for? | sound navigation and ranging |
| tectonic plates | enormous slabs of the earth's crust and rigid upper mantle that move in different directions and at different rates over earth's surface |
| bathymetric profile | map of the ocean's floor that shows the ocean's depth |
| desalination | removal of salt from water |
| food chain | diagram that shows how energy in food flows from one organism to another |
| food web | diagram that shows the feeding relationships between organisms in an ecosystem |
| latitude | a locations distance north or south of the equator, runs east to west, and reads north to south |
| longitude | a locations distance east or west of the prime meridian, run north to south , read east to west |
| coordinates | set of numbers that describes where something is located |
| Why is it better to water your lawn at night instead of during the day? | less water will be lost to evaporation |
| Which feature is common in youthful river channels? | rapids |

| Nape | the back of your neck |
| Oxymoron | a short phrase in which the words seem to contradict each other |
| permafrost | a deep subsoil |
| quasar | a massive and extremely remote celestial object, emitting exceptionally large amounts of energy( radio waves) and typically having a star like image. |
| What percent of the earth's surface is covered with water? | 71% of the Earth's surface is covered with water |
| What are the 4 divisions of the global ocean? | Pacific Ocean Atlantic Ocean Indian Ocean Artic Ocean |
| How did the oceans form? | The oceans formed after the gases from the volcanoes formed the atmosphere. Earth cooled downed, and let water vapor to condense. Then the water began to precipitate, forming the oceans. |
| How are the gases in the atmosphere related to the gases in the oceans? | Nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide are both in the atmosphere and the oceans. |
| How do end up with salt in our oceans? | The rivers and streams dissolve minerals, such as sodium, and flows into the ocean and dissolves with chlorine. This process makes salt in the oceans. |
| What is salinity? | Salinity is the measure of the amount of dissolved salts in a given amount of liquid. |
| How does climate effect salinity? | The higher the temperature, the higher the salinity level. The humid places with lower temperatures, have lower salinity levels. |
| What is the ocean's most important function? | The ocean's most important function is to stabilize the Earth's weather. |
| What technologies are currently being used to gain information about the ocean. |
