Makin' Waves
100
Liquid at room temperature; ice that floats
What are properties of water polarity?
100
Lower temperature and higher salinity.
What makes water more dense?
100
The effect caused by the rotaion of the Earth.
What is the Coriolis Effect?
100
Without them, our climates would be more extreme.
What are currents?
100
a big bulge of water that piles up on shore due to wind-and gives you the "urge" to seek a safe place.
What is Storm Surge?
200
A molecule with ends that are negatively and positively charged.
What is a polar molecule?
200
Unlike most matter, water becomes less dense in this state.
What is ice (frozen)?
200
The primary force that creates surface currents.
What is the wind?
200
Five, found in each major ocean basin.
What are Gyres?
200
Caused by earthquakes and landslides.....
What is a Tsunami?
300
A combination of two or more substances where the molecules of one substance are evenly dispersed with the molecules of another.
What is a solution?
300
The land found at 30 degrees north and south of the equator where evaporation causes oceans to become salty.
What are deserts?
300
The primary force that causes winds and currents to move in a circular path.
What is the Coriolis effect?
300
It redistributes heat, and moderates the earth's climate.
What is the Global Conveyor Belt?
300
The distance between identical spots on two waves.
What is wavelength?
400
All the inorganic solids dissolved in seawater.
What is salinity?
400
Water density differences that cause worlwide currents.
What is Thermohaline circulation?
400
The force where cool warm air or water rises and is replaced by cooler air or water.
What is a convection current?
400
......Caused primarily by the moon, with some effects from the sun.
What are tides?
400
The distance a wave travels unbroken.
What is Fetch?
500
Carbon
What is the element fundamental to all life?
500
"Regardless of salinity, the proportions of inorganic salts remains the same".
What is the Principle of Constant Proportions?
500
The boundary of waters with different temperatures.
What is a thermocline?
500
The strongest, when the Earth is aligned with the sun and the moon.
What are Spring Tides?
500
Wind speed, duration and fetch all help to make this happen
