100
These are the units in which we measure density.
What is g/ml (grams per milliliter)?
100
This is the average salinity of the ocean.
What is 35 ppt?
100
Surface currents are caused by this.
What is wind?
100
This is a depositional feature in which sand extends out into a bay.
What is a spit?
100
This is the deepest part of the ocean (the term not an example).
What is a deep sea trench?
200
This is the formula to find density.
What is mass/volume (m/v)?
200
This is abbreviated as ppt.
What is parts per thousand?
200
This type of water will be brought south from the equator in a surface current.
What is warm/hot?
200
A man-made feature that is built in a series to keep sand from moving down coast.
What is a groin?
200
The is the shallowest part of the ocean.
What is the continental margin?
300
This is the density of fresh water.
What is 1.0 g/mL
300
This is the most abundant dissolved salt in the oceans.
What is sodium chloride?
300
This is the process in which moving fluids are turned clockwise in the northern hemisphere.
What is the Coriolis Effect?
300
These are formed from collapsed sea-arches.
What is a sea stack?
300
These are formed by turbidity currents.
What is a submarine canyon?
400
If oil has a density of 0.83 g/ml and salt water has a density of 1.03 g/ml, what will happen if oil is spilled in water?
It will float.
400
These are two factors that affect salinity.
What are temperature, evaporation rates, precipitation rates, melting/freezing of sea water, and run-off.
400
These two currents affect coastal New Hampshire.
What is the Gulf Stream and Labrador Currents?
400
This is a man-made ocean feature that protects that bay or harbor from wave action.
What is a break-water?
400
This a large mountain chain that runs in the center of the world's oceans.
What is the mid-ocean ridge?
500
This is the density of an object that has a mass of 27g and a volume of 9mL.
What is 3.0g/mL?
500
This is how scientists measure salinity of ocean water.
What is the conductivity of the ocean water?
500
This current circumnavigates the southern hemisphere.
What is West Wind Drift?
500
This is a water feature that is often larger than a bay and still mostly surrounded by land.
What is a Gulf?
500
These are areas in the ocean that open to the mantle where super heated water sustains life.
What are hydro thermal vents.
