1. Continental shelf 2. Continental slope 3. Submarine canyon 4. Continental rise 5. Deep ocean trench 6. Abyssal plain 7. Seamounts 8. Guyots 9. Mid-Ocean Ridge Chp 19-2 Ocean Floor Features
Continental margin continental rise
Ocean Floor Features Continental Margin: zone between the shoreline and the deep-ocean bottom 1. Continental Shelf: gently sloping surface extending from the shoreline 2. Continental Slope: Edge of the continental shelf, usually steep (boundary between continental crust and oceanic crust)
Ocean Floor Features 3. Submarine Canyons: steep valleys cut into the continental slope. – Created by turbidity currents
Ocean Floor Features Turbidity current: An underwater landslide. Caused by underwater earthquakes
Ocean Floor Features 4. Continental Rise: gently sloping surface at the base of the continental slope. 5. Deep Ocean Trench: creases in the ocean floor that form at subduction zones 6. Abyssal Plain: deep, flat areas (not much goes on here) 7. Seamounts: submerged volcanoes that form at hot spots
Ocean Floor Features 8. Guyot: seamount with a flat top 9. Mid-Ocean Ridge: cluster of underwater mountains that have developed on newly formed ocean crust – Where seafloor spreading occurs
Features of the Ocean Floor Using the Play-Doh, create the ocean floor and include the 6 features below. Show me your model when done. 1. Continental shelf 2. Continental slope 3. Submarine canyon 4. Continental rise 5. Deep ocean trench 6. Abyssal plain
Sardine Population
Sardine Population Questions Copy down the questions and answer 1. What natural events might affect the sardine population? 2. How did the fishing industry affected human population in Monterey? 3. What is a cause of the decline/collapse of the sardine industry? 4. What factors influence the growth of the sardine fishing industry? disappeared-off-west-coast/
