Seawater
Water movement in the ocean
Tides
Continental Margins
Ocean Zones
100
The most salty layer of water in this glass is here.
Where is the bottom?
100
This effect causes the wind and currents to curve over the surface of the Earth.
What is the Coriolis Effect?
100
The gravitational force of the moon pulls on the world's water, creating this planet-wide wave.
What is the tidal bulge?
100
This is the most landward part of the continental margin
What is the continental shelf?
100
This ocean environment is the water from the surface to the sea floor.
What is the Pelagic environment?
200
These have less temperature fluctuations due to the body of water nearby slowly releasing heat over night.
What are coastal areas?
200
The ocean's water is the warmest at this location on the globe, because the sun shines at a direct angle for a greater period of time.
What is the equator?
200
This is the highest high tide and the lowest low tide of each month.
What is the Spring tide?
200
This is commonly called "the drop-off"
What is the shelf break?
200
This is the environment that is all of the sea floor.
What is the Benthic environment?
300
Ice floats due to this molecular peculiarity of water.
What is locking into a lattice-like pattern that causes it to be less dense than liquid water?
300
These are the named sections of the world oceans. (Both what the structure/feature is and the names of each)
What are basins, named the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Arctic, and Southern.
300
This tide happens during the quarter moon phases each month.
What is the Neap Tide?
300
These are two types of sediment in the ocean
What are biogenous and lithogenous?
300
These are the two zones in the ocean that receive the most sunlight and support the largest biodiversity.
What are the epipelagic and the neritic?
400
This is the total amount of dissolved solids in water including dissolved gases
What is salinity?
400
These two phenomena are opposing water movements that work to flush fresh, oxygenated water from the surface to the deep, and bring nutrient-rich water from the deep to the surface.
What are upwelling and downwelling?
400
The full and new moon causes this every month
What is the Spring Tide?
400
When there is this type of margin on a coast, you are likely to find lots of people relaxing by the sea and wading far out into the water.
What is a passive margin?
400
This is the order of the pelagic zones from photic to aphasic: 
What are: Epipelagic, mesopelagic, bathypelagic, abyssopelagic, hadal
500
This is the term for the ocean layering by salinity and temperature.
What is the thermohalocline?
500
This is how water moves in the ocean, from the smallest water movement caused by wind to the largest circular movement.
What are waves, currents, and gyres.
500
This phenomenon causes the bulge of the world's water on the opposite side of the planet from the moon.
What is inertia?
500
A seafloor trench is caused by this.
What is two tectonic plates converging and one being subducted under the other?
500
These are the zones in the benthic environment.
What are: littoral, sublittoral, bathyl, abyssal, hadal?
