Cause and Effect Relationships
What is the cause in this cause-and-effect relationship: some wind energy transferred to sound energy because the wave crashed onto land.
the wave crashed onto land
5
How many oceans are there?
5
What is one thing that determines the size of a wave?
Currents that flow from the Equator to the North or South Poles are currents.
warm
What is the cause in this cause-and-effect relationship: The logs and branches were swept into the ocean as a result of surface waves and winds.
surface waves and winds
Why can we say there is just one ocean?
because all of the oceans connect together
The ocean between North America and Europe.
Atlantic Ocean
Friction from the ocean floor slows a wave near land, and makes the top of the wave fall.
gravity
The currents in the Northern Hemisphere moving in a direction.
clockwise
What is the effect in this cause-and-effect relationship: The ocean currents carrying driftwood leads to surface waves washing the driftwood onto the beach.
surface waves washing driftwood onto the beach
The scientific study of oceans is called:
oceanography
The largest and deepest ocean:
A surface wave transfers wind energy with/without moving any matter.
without
Deep ocean currents are effected by how and how the water is.
salty
deep
What is the effect in this energy cause and effect relationship: Surface waves are a consequence of energy being transferred from the wind through the water?
surface waves
Fresh water flows downhill toward the ocean because of .
gravity
The smallest and shallowest ocean.
Artic Ocean
As the surface wave crashes onto land, wind energy transfers to energy, and some of the energy causes beach erosion.
sound
What causes surface currents to move in a circular pattern?
the earth's rotation
What is the cause in this cause and effect relationship: As a result of the strong waves coming onto the beach, sandcastles were destroyed.
the strong waves coming onto the beach
What are two ways to conserve fresh water?
Give your pets fresh water and us the old water to water plants.
Wash pets in a grassy area that needs water.
The ocean along the coast of Antartica.
Southern Ocean
What is the origin of surface currents?
when God create the winds to move across the waters
