What is the part of the ocean floor that has a sharp drop down? *HINT* It is between continental shelf and continental rise!
Continental slope
100
What do the arrows mean in a food chain?
Energy movement
100
"Cold salty water....."
SINKS!
100
IS THE OCEAN FLOOR FLAT?
NO! It looks like land! Mountains, ridges, trenches, etc!!
200
What is the part of the ocean floor that has Challenger Deep?
Ocean Trench!
200
TRUE OR FALSE
CONSUMERS gets their energy from the sun.
FALSE: Producers do!
200
When the DEPTH increases the PRESSURE does what?
Increases as well! Think of the bottom of a swimming pool!

If someone pollutes the Occoquan... will it go up to NYC and pollute the river there?
No! Everything runs downstream! Now, if someone polluted a river in New York that connected somehow to the Occoquan, THEN the Occoquan and the Atlantic ocean would be polluted. Everything goes downstream and eventually hits the ocean!
300
What is the part of the ocean floor that is the TRANSITION point between the slope and the true ocean floor?
Continental rise
300
TRUE OR FALSE: A tertiary consumer eats a primary consumer.
FALSE! A tertiary consumer eats a secondary consumer who eats the primary consumer.
300
Where would I find the water with the most salinity?
1. Continental shelf
2. Continental rise
3. Abyssal Plain/ocean trench
3. Abyssal plain/ocean trench

What is a Niche?
A niche is how an animal interacts with their environment, who they eat, who eats them, and what happens when they start eating something else!
400
What is the most shallow part of the ocean floor? What is it called?
Continental shelf
400
Who does the TUNA get their energy from?
Small fish or mackerel
400
Why is the surface of the ocean warm and the bottom of the ocean cold?
The sun is directly above the surface of the water, and no sunlight can reach the ocean floor, so it is cold!
400
True or false: Hurricanes are landlocked and cause no flooding
FALSE: Hurricanes are near the coasts and do cause flooding!
500
Name for the true ocean floor: It is flat and deep.
Abyssal Plain
500
Label everyone from producer to apex predator *HINT* there is a fourth level of consumer here!
One-celled life (producer) -> Shrimplike creatures (primary consumers) -> Small fish (secondary consumers)-> Mackerel (tertiary consumers) -> Tuna (fourth level of consumer)-> Shark! (apex predator)
500
If an iceberg falls into the ocean, will the salinity level INCREASE or DECREASE?
DECREASE! A huge amount of fresh water is flowing into the ocean at that moment! The salt content would go down!
500
If I blow on some water in a bowl, what will happen to the surface?
A. Tides
B. Currents
C. Tornado
B. Currents. The wind causes currents.
