1
Oceanography And related materials
2
Food chain begins with: Algae Phytoplankton (plant plankton) Other plants
3
Porifera
5
Mid-ocean ridges They are all divergent boundaries (spreading apart)
6
Sargasso Seaweed Seaweed that sea turtles live in, in the middle of the Atlantic
7
Primary Consumers Zooplankton (animal plankton) Krill
11
@ Top of the Food Chain: jaws.mp4 jaws.mp4
12
Narwhal
13
Salinity Salinity = saltiness Ocean water is 96.5 parts pure water, with 3.5 parts (or %) salts. Salt ions= calcium, chlorine, sodium, potassium, etc.
14
Depth Deeper you go: –Saltier it gets (its more dense) –Colder it gets (less sunlight) –Higher pressure Most plankton and corals close to surface, bc they need sunlight. Why?
16
Upwelling The process that brings nutrient rich water up from the deeps. These nutrients power plankton It can provide more Calcium, which oysters and shellfish use to make their shells
17
Ocean currents
19
Crest-top of wave Trough-bottom of wave Period-distance between waves
21
Ocean floor
22
Oceans Largest: 1. Pacific 2. Atlantic 3. Indian 4. Antarctic
23
Why does ice float?
24
El Nino This occurs every 4-5 years, when a warm ocean current in the pacific reverses course (for some unknown reason). This affects weather all over the globe.
