10.3 Rome
What took place during the Punic Wars?
Rome and Carthage fought for control of strategic islands throughout the Mediterranean region. Rome eventually destroyed Carthage and took control of its lands.
what is wave frequency
The number of waves past a point in time.
When do breakers occur
When the base of the wave motion touches the bottom
what two things decrease with depth
sunlight and temperature
What is sonar
sonar is used to measure depths
What is the crest of a wave
The highest part of a wave
What are 2 wave factors
Wind speed, time, and distance
What increases when breakers near shore
Speed
What two things increase with depth
Pressure and nutreints
The total amounts of dissolved salts in a sample
What is the trough of a wave
The lowest part of a wave
What is moving in waves and what is not
Energy not water
What decreases when breakers near shore
Height
What are three of the challenges faced in ocean exploration
High pressure, technology time limits, limited supply of oxygen, locating small areas/ mobile species, and expensive
what does salinity do
It lowers the freezing point to ~1.9 C° And it increases density
how us wavelength measured
Crest to crest or trough to trough
What are breakers
Near shore waves
What happens to ocean water when it freezes
It leaves behind salt increasing salinity
What are sensors used for
To locate specific areas
Why are the midnight, abyssal, and hadal zones so nutrient
They collect dying animals from above and that = nutrients
How is wave height measured
Crest to trough or trough to crest
what is a quality of a breaker
Changes in shape and size
what does phytoplankton produce and how much of it
90% of the worlds oxygen
What is a sonde
A under water probe used to measure salinity
List all the zones from top to the bottom
Sunlight, twilight, midnight, abyssal and hadal
