Ocean Environments 11.1 Ocean coasts support plant and animal life. CHAPTER NEW CHAPTER Ocean Environments the BIG idea The ocean supports life and contains natural resources. 11.1 Ocean coasts support plant and animal life. 11.2 Conditions differ away from shore. 11.3 The ocean contains natural resources. CHAPTER OUTLINE CHAPTER RESOURCES
11.1 Ocean coasts support plant and animal life. Organisms in the intertidal zone are covered by water during high tide and exposed to the air during low tide. habitat intertidal zone intertidal zone estuary wetland See which plants and animals live in different ocean environments. SIMULATION CHAPTER RESOURCES SECTION OUTLINE
11.1 high tide mark low tide mark Ocean coasts support plant and animal life. Organisms in the intertidal zone are covered by water during high tide and exposed to the air during low tide. habitat intertidal zone high tide mark estuary wetland low tide mark CHAPTER RESOURCES • Fresh water and salt water mix in estuaries. SECTION OUTLINE • Salt marshes and mangrove forests form along coasts.
11.1 habitat Ocean coasts support plant and animal life. intertidal zone The natural environment in which a living thing gets all that it needs to live; examples include a desert, a coral reef, and a freshwater lake. estuary wetland CHAPTER RESOURCES KEY CONCEPT SUMMARY
11.1 intertidal zone Ocean coasts support plant and animal life. habitat intertidal zone intertidal zone The narrow ocean margin between the high- tide mark and the low-tide mark. estuary wetland CHAPTER RESOURCES KEY CONCEPT SUMMARY
11.1 estuary Ocean coasts support plant and animal life. habitat estuary intertidal zone A shoreline area where fresh water from a river mixes with salt water from the ocean. estuary wetland CHAPTER RESOURCES KEY CONCEPT SUMMARY
11.1 wetland Ocean coasts support plant and animal life. habitat wetland intertidal zone A wet, swampy area that is often flooded with water. estuary wetland CHAPTER RESOURCES KEY CONCEPT SUMMARY
Conditions differ away from shore. 11.2 Conditions differ away from shore. coral reef near shore environment open ocean kelp forest phytoplankton hydrothermal vent See which plants and animals live in different ocean environments. SIMULATION CLASSZONE.COM VISUALIZATION Examine the life found at hydrothermal vents. CHAPTER RESOURCES SECTION OUTLINE
Conditions differ away from shore. 11.2 Conditions differ away from shore. Life in the open ocean is more spread out. The surface zone is lit by the Sun. The deep zone is dark. The waters near shore support more life than any other part of the ocean. coral reef kelp forest phytoplankton hydrothermal vent CHAPTER RESOURCES SECTION OUTLINE
11.2 coral reef Conditions differ away from shore. kelp forest A built-up limestone deposit formed by small ant-sized organisms called corals. phytoplankton hydrothermal vent CHAPTER RESOURCES KEY CONCEPT SUMMARY
11.2 kelp forest Conditions differ away from shore. coral reef kelp forest kelp forest A large community of kelp, a type of seaweed that can attach to the ocean floor. phytoplankton hydrothermal vent CHAPTER RESOURCES KEY CONCEPT SUMMARY
11.2 phytoplankton Conditions differ away from shore. coral reef phytoplankton kelp forest Microscopic floating organisms that live in water and, like plants, convert sunlight and carbon dioxide into food. phytoplankton hydrothermal vent CHAPTER RESOURCES KEY CONCEPT SUMMARY
11.2 hydrothermal vent Conditions differ away from shore. coral reef hydrothermal vent kelp forest An opening in the sea floor from which heated water rises and mixes with the ocean water above. phytoplankton hydrothermal vent CHAPTER RESOURCES KEY CONCEPT SUMMARY
The ocean contains natural resources. 11.3 The ocean contains natural resources. Living ocean resources include seafood and algae. Overfishing and pollution threaten ocean environments. overfishing by-catch CHAPTER RESOURCES SECTION OUTLINE
The ocean contains natural resources. 11.3 The ocean contains natural resources. Nonliving ocean resources include oil, natural gas, and minerals. overfishing by-catch CHAPTER RESOURCES SECTION OUTLINE
11.3 overfishing The ocean contains natural resources. by-catch The catching of fish at a faster rate than they can reproduce. CHAPTER RESOURCES KEY CONCEPT SUMMARY
11.3 by-catch The ocean contains natural resources. overfishing by-catch by-catch The portion of animals that are caught in a net and then thrown away as unwanted. CHAPTER RESOURCES KEY CONCEPT SUMMARY

The shoreline supports many plants and animals. estuary wetland C. Fresh water and salt water meet on coasts. 1. Salt Marshes 2. Mangrove Forests D. Human activity affects shorelines. CHAPTER RESOURCES KEY CONCEPT SUMMARY
Conditions differ away from shore. 11.2 Conditions differ away from shore. II. Conditions differ away from shore. coral reef A. Ocean environments change with depth and distance from shore. kelp forest phytoplankton B. The waters near shore support diverse life forms. hydrothermal vent 1. Coral Reefs 2. Kelp Forests C. Environments in the open ocean change with depth. 1. Surface Zone CHAPTER RESOURCES 2. Deep Zone D. New discoveries about ocean life continue. KEY CONCEPT SUMMARY
The ocean contains natural resources. 11.3 The ocean contains natural resources. III. The ocean contains natural resources. overfishing A. The ocean supports living resources. by-catch 1. Seafood and Algae 2. Overfishing and By-Catch 3. Saltwater Aquaculture B. The ocean contains nonliving resources. 1. Energy Resources 2. Minerals and Rocks C. Pollution affects the ocean. 1. Preventing Ocean Pollution CHAPTER RESOURCES 2. Global Pollution Problems KEY CONCEPT SUMMARY
