|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| show | The portion of the earth's crust that primarily contains basalt, is relatively dense, and is about 5 kilometers thick
🗑
|
||||
| Continental Crust | show 🗑
|
||||
| Plate tectonics | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | A continuous chain of underwater volcanic mountains encompassing the earth ocean ridges.
🗑
|
||||
| Seafloor spreading | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The downward movement of one plate into the earth's mantle when two plates collide.
🗑
|
||||
| Continental shelf | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The steeper section of a continental edge, extending seaward from the continental shelf.
🗑
|
||||
| Continental rise | show 🗑
|
||||
| Specific heat | show 🗑
|
||||
| Salinity | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The way in which the rotation of the earth bends the path of winds and resulting sea currents.
🗑
|
||||
| Gyres | show 🗑
|
||||
| Spring tide | show 🗑
|
||||
| Neap tide | show 🗑
|
||||
| Name the 4 large ocean basins of the world in order of increasing size. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The differences between these types of crust are the chemical and physical composition of the rocks. Whether or not that are covered by water is irrelevant. Oceanic crust contains basalt and is denser and thinner than continental crust, contains granite
🗑
|
||||
| If a specific location in the world is known for experiencing a large amount of earthquakes throughout modern history, what would you propose is occurring in the earths crust underneath that area? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | The subduction must be occurring in the Pacific Ocean.
🗑
|
||||
| Ocean crust is constantly being destroyed and reformed. Considering the four large ocean basins in the world, which ocean has the most oceanic crust formation? | show 🗑
|
||||
| Although there is a large surface area under the oceans of the earth, in which main region of the ocean bottom do you find the most marine life | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Hydrogen boding
🗑
|
||||
| If a marine organism lives in an area where there are drastic changes in the weather resulting in extremely high and low air temperatures, what property of water prevents the organism from "feeling" such changes? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Evaporation will result in in greater salinity of the water left behind. Then the water will then become denser and could begin
to sink to a lower level in the ocean. A drop in temperature will do the same thing, -->
🗑
|
||||
| show | --->
🗑
|
||||
| show | The wavelengths of blue light can penetrate much deeper than those of other colors. Also, the blue sky reflects off the surface of the ocean.
🗑
|
||||
| A fisherman was deep-sea fishing and pulled up a large bottom-dwelling grouper he had hooked. He was able to bring the fish up to the surface very quickly, but was surprised to see that the fish was extremely bloated (puffed up) and did not survive --> | show 🗑
|
||||
| Its body was acclimated to the extra pressure of water above its habitat. When it was brought to the surface very quickly, the gases in its body experienced much less pressure so they expanded, resulting in its bloated look, and caused it to die. | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | Coriolis effect
🗑
|
||||
| Suppose the earth rotated opposite of the direction it currently rotates. What effect would that have on the directions of the gyres shown in figure 1.16? | show 🗑
|
||||
| show | In a circle motion under the water and back up to their original position
🗑
|
||||
| During which phase of the moon are the tidal ranges the largest and why? | show 🗑
|
||||
| Describe the two major layers of the deep ocean and the feature that separates them. | show 🗑

To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
