gently sloping surface that leads to the ocean floor
What is continental slope
What is Denser? Cold Water or Warm Water
Cold Water
isolated cones that are under the water
What is seamounts
What is a way we can increase salinity?
Evaporation or Freezing
What scientists use to keep track and see how deep the ocean is
sonar
What is Denser? Salt Water or Fresh Water
Salt Water
Highest Point of a Wave
Crest
Deepest part of the Ocean Floor
What is trenches
How many Oceans are there?
5
Density Increases
Connects to the beach and the continental slope
What is continental shelf
What can lower the salinity
Precipitation or Melting
Underwater crafts used to navigate the oceans
What is submarine
A submarine dives to the bottom of the ocean. How would these three things be affected?
-Density
-Temperature
-Salinity
Density Increases
Temperature Decreases
Salinity Increases
The largest mountain range in the world
Mid Ocean Ridge
Which Area would have a higher Salinity and explain why?
Oceans near Central America
Oceans near Canada
Oceans near Australia
Central America has higher rates of evaporation
Name all 5 Oceans
Southern, Indian, Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic
Explain how the Dead Sea and Density are related
The dead sea has a higher salinity so humans can float on it
Describe the Difference between
Density Currents and Surface Currents
Density Currents: Deeper and Colder
Surface Currents: Near Surface and Caused by Wind
