Bathymetry
This is the study of water depth and land features below said water.
What is, bathymetry?
Collectivley that are refered to as the pollution cocktail.
What are, ecotoxins?
The Gulf of Maine is this type of system.
What is, an open system?
These patterns of flowing water move the sea in and through the Gulf of Maine.
What are currents?
This is the large, puff-ball type of cloud.
What is cumulous?
These bathymetric features include:
a drop-off
a large low-lying open area
a long slanting hill between a low area and high area
What are a ledge, a basin, and a bank?
This is how environmental chemicals get into the Gulf of ME.
What is, through the water cycle?
Radiant energy is transformed into chemical energy in the Gulf of ME meaning, the Gulf of ME conforms to this law.
What is, the first law of thermodynamics?
This is why currents can ocurr at differnt depths of the ocean based on temperature and/or salinity.
What is density?
This is the year Hebron was founded.
What is 1804?
This is an underwater mountain.
What is a seamount?
These "beauty+health" chemicals enter the Gulf of ME because they cannot be completely removed from effluent and effluent is released back into the Earth's water cycle.
What are, pharmaceuticals?
These are the autotrophs of the Gulf of Maine ecosystem.
What are, phytoplankton and seaweed/kelp?
This is the land that drains to a specified body of water like the Gulf of ME.
What is a watershed?
This is what place the Vancouver Canucks are in the NHL right now.
What is last?
These are two important zones of the ocean; we name species from these zones with the same term.
What are pelagic and benthic species?
These concepts demonstrate how ecotoxins gather and move in an ecosystem.
What are, bioaccumulation and biomagnification?
This feature of the ocean allows radiant energy to be transformed because of the extensive quantity and diversity of algae, phytoplankton and zooplankton that inhabit it.
What is the sea surface microlayer?
This is how climate change is increasing the temperature of the Gulf of ME.
What is warm water from the gulf stream now enters the Gulf of ME through the northeast channel?
This is when the Gulf of ME quiz is to be administered.
What is Tuesday, March 31, 2026?
This is a circular flowing current.
What is a gyre?
These are the two ways toxic chemicals can affect an organism based on exposure.
What are, acute toxicity and chronic toxicity?
This term represents the available energy within the autotrophs of the Gulf of Maine to be consumed by upper trophic levels.
What is net primary productivity?
This is why fish can be found near banks.
This is the year Kents Hill was founded.
What is 1824?
