Three types of wave interference
What is constructive, destructive, or complex?

What is refraction?
Organisms that are capable of self-nourishment by synthesizing food from inorganic molecules
What are autotrophs?

When can high salinity water rest above lower salinity water? (Two answers)
What is when high salinity water is warm and low salinity water is cold?
The distance between two crests or two troughs in a wave.
What is wavelength?
The height (fraction) at which a wave will break
Evolution of single celled organisms via the incorporation (consuming) of other single celled organisms. Cells eventually ate cyanobacterium leading to photosynthesis.
Emdosymbiotic Theory

What is an epiphyte?
Layer in the ocean where a perfect combination for high temperature, salinity, and pressure occurs and leads to higher speed of sound.
Velocity of the wave form, not of the water
Type of wave where the crest of the wave becomes steep and cascades down the front of the wave as it proceeds through the surf zone.
What is a spilling breaker?
RNA molecules from the environment. What organisms are experiencing at a point in time under similar conditions (how genes are being expressed)
Metatranscriptomics
lines of equal water temperature - generally trend east-west except where deflected by currents.
What are isotherms?
The balance of mass between objects floating on the Earth's surface, such as the crust and mantle.
What is isostasy?
Name for the highest 1/3 of waves in the ocean
What is a significant wave?
Classic pipeline, crest curls over the front of the wave.
