Question
Answer
(P.O.W.)Why is Ice is less dense than water   As water freezes the molecules spread out in a six-sided pattern.  
🗑
(P.O.W.)Why can some insects walk on the surface of water.   water molecules at the surface of water have enough cohesion  
🗑
(P.O.W.)why does sodium dissolve when put in water   attractions cause the sodium and chloride ions to break apart in water, or dissolve.  
🗑
(P.O.W.)What is polarity   Polarity is a condition in which opposite ends of a molecule have slightly opposite charges, but the overall charge of the molecule is neutral  
🗑
(P.O.W.)what is a water atom made out of and the charges of each one   2 Hydrogen charge positive,1 Oxygen charge negative  
🗑
(P.O.W.)Why is water called the universal solvent   because so many substances can dissolve in it  
🗑
(P.O.W.)What makes water a unique compound   B/c water is the only substance that exists in nature as a solid, a liquid, and a gas  
🗑
(P.O.W.)The density of freshwater is greatest at what temperature   4 degrees Celsius  
🗑
(O.C)What is a effect of a Coriolis effect   The Coriolis effect causes fluids to move clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere  
🗑
(O.C)What is upwelling   The vertical movement of water toward the ocean’s surface  
🗑
(O.C)What is another type of vertical current   A density current  
🗑
(O.C)What is a density current   Density currents move water downward,they carry water from the surface to deeper parts of the ocean  
🗑
(O.C)True or false cold water is denser than warm water   True  
🗑
(O.C)What happens when a surface current moves toward a polar area   the water cools  
🗑
(O.C)When seawater freezes what happens to the salt   The salt is left behind in the surrounding water  
🗑
(O.C)Density currents are important components of what   Ocean circulation  
🗑
(O.Comp.)2 sources of water for earths oceans   Water from volcanoes,melted ice from comets and asteroids  
🗑
(O.Comp.)What is salinty   The measure of the mass of dissolved solids in a mass of water  
🗑
(O.Comp.)Fresh water mixed with seawater is called   Brackish water  
🗑
(O.Comp.)Where dose salinity(salt) in the ocean come from   Rain washes over rocks dissolves minarals and rivers and streams carry it to the oceans  
🗑
(O.Comp.)4 criteria that scientist use to classify ocean zones   amount of sun light,salinity,density,temperture  
🗑
(O.Comp.)What is the deepest part of the ocean   Ocean trench  
🗑
(O.Comp.)How many ocean zones are there and what are they   surface zone, middle zone, deep zone  
🗑
(O.Comp.)What are some natural resources from the ocean floor   oil,natural gas and methane  
🗑
