Wednesday 2/8 Unit 1 Test Binder check About 50 points
Multiple choice & short essays Binder check In-class activities
3
Ocean Acidification: Homework question #2 Specific heat of water
Water temperature doesn’t change very quickly, so looking at seasons might not have been an effective approach. Let’s look at the global ocean
4
What conclusion can we draw regarding water temperature and change in pH?
5
Concept Mapping: create a concept map that includes all of the words in the table below The words must be connected with an arrow and linking words You may have more than one connection between words. Your goal is to make as many accurate connections as possible.
6
Unit 1 Review:
7
The 5 oceans on our planet are _________
Pacific Atlantic Indian Arctic Southern
8
Which hemisphere has more ocean area than land area?
Southern Hemisphere
9
What tool/technique to scientists use to study the ocean floor?
Sonar
10
A deep flat feature that makes up the “floor” of the ocean is called _____________.
Abyssal Plain
11
The area of the ocean in which sunlight permeates is called the __________.
Photic zone
12
As depth increases, what happens to temperature & salinity?
Temperature decreases with depth Salinity increases with depth
13
(Expressed in parts per thousand)
The term for the total amount of solid material dissolved in water is ______________. Salinity (Expressed in parts per thousand)
14
Two main sources of sea salts are __________.
Weathering of rocks Volcanic eruptions
15
Two processes that decrease salinity (add water) are ________.
Melting of sea ice/icebergs Runoff from land Precipitation
16
Two processes that increase salinity (remove water) are ________.
Formation of sea ice Evaporation
17
What would a graph of temperature vs. depth at a low latitude look like?
18
Variations in ocean water temperature with depth
19
What would a graph of density vs. depth at a low latitude look like?
20
Variations in ocean water density with depth
21
This type of current develops from friction between the wind and the ocean water.
Surface current
22
Circular moving current systems that dominate the ocean surface are called __________.
Gyres
23
How do ocean currents play a role in weather and climate?
Transfer heat from low latitudes to high latitudes (and vice versa)
24
Thermohaline currents
Deep ocean currents that form from differences in salinity and temperature are called _________. Thermohaline currents
25
Sediment made up of shells and skeletons of once living organisms are called ___________
Biogenous Sediments
26
Lithogenous Sediments
Sediment that is made from the weathering of continental rocks is called ________. Lithogenous Sediments
27
Change in sediment color Condition of shell/skeleton pieces
How can sediments tell us about climate/environmental changes in the past? Change in sediment color Oxygen isotopes Condition of shell/skeleton pieces
28
What chemical is being absorbed by the ocean that is causing the water to decrease in pH?
Carbon Dioxide
29
Which type of ocean water can hold more CO2, colder or warmer water?
This means that the Arctic and Southern oceans tend accumulate CO2
30
Dissolves/Deteriorates
What happens to Calcium Carbonate shells as a solution becomes more acidic? Dissolves/Deteriorates
