100
This is where two plates move toward each other
What is a convergent boundary?
100
This amount of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next.
What is 10$?
100
This is the biggest factor in wave formation.
What is wind?
100
These are the most dangerous wastes in a saltwater tank.
What are nitrogen compounds?
100
One of three factors that affect water density.
What is temperature, pressure and salinity?
200
This is where two plates move away from each other.
What is a divergent boundary?
200
These are the class of organism that are main primary producers in the ocean.
What is phytoplankton?
200
This is the biggest factor in tide patterns.
What is the moon?
200
This is the correct range for specific gravity in a saltwater tank.
What is 1.020 to 1.025?
200
This allows certain organisms to float without sinking.
What is surface tension or buoyancy?
300
This occurs at a convergent boundary and is where one plate is pulled/pushed under the other
What is a subduction zone?
300
This zone is at the bottom of the ocean, regardless of depth.
What is the benthic zone?
300
This is the flow of water through the oceans.
What is a current?
300
This tool is used to measure salinity.
What is a hydrometer?
300
This is referred to as the universal solvent.
What is water?
400
This is a feature formed at a divergent boundary and is a key component of sea floor spreading
What is a mid-ocean ridge?
400
This class of organism propels itself through the water, feasting on plankton or others in its class.
What are nertitic organisms?
400
Water of higher salinity, lower depth, or lower tempurature is this when compared to fresh, warm, shallow water.
What is more dense?
400
These are the three main reasons for ocean exploration.
What are trade, food, and discovery?
400
Ice is this when compared to water
What is less dense?
500
These are the four main layers of the earth, in order from inside-out.
What are inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust?
500
These are the three types of relationships between organisms.
What is parasitism, mutualism, and commensalism?
500
This combination of factors produces neap tides.
What are sun and moon being at 90 degree angle to the Earth?
500
Name three of the 6 past civilizations to contribute to oceanography
What are Vikings, Chinese, Portuguese, Phoenecians, Polynesians, and Greeks?
500
High salinty does this to the freezing temp of water and this is the boiling point.
