1 Oceanography And related materials

2 Food chain begins with:  Algae  Phytoplankton (plant plankton)  Other plants

3 Porifera

4

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?

15

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

18

19  Crest-top of wave  Trough-bottom of wave  Period-distance between waves

20

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.
