8.E.1.1 structure
which ocean zone do we find the most organisms?
What is the intertidal zone
This best explains why their is higher salt concentrations in the sea and ocean water near the equator?
What is higher temperatures cause increased evaporation and salt is left behind as water molecules turn into a gas.
Which factor has the greatest effect on a community’s stores of fresh water ?
What is rainfall
What contains most of the water on earth?
what is the ocean
This is the place where rivers flow to.
What is the ocean?
This is where we get most of our drinking water from.
What are Aquifers?
This is the geographic locations where upwelling will more than likely occur.
What are sea mounts and near the coast?
Where is most of the world freshwater located?
What is glaciers and ice caps
What is runoff of pesticides and fertilizers can pollute the river leading to death of wildlife, or algae blooms which will again lead to the death of wildlife. Wildlife is considered plants and animals.
This is perhaps the most important role estuaries play.
What is they are the place where many marine species spawn.
This is where you can find most of the water on earth.
Where is in the oceans?
This is why fishermen would look for cold patches of water surrounded by warmer water?
What is cold nutrient rich water from the bottom of the oceans causes phytoplankton blooms which leads to increased numbers of sea life feeding.
This is a term to describe the amount of dissolved sediments (minerals, salt ect...) in water.
What is salinity
This is what sewage treatment plants due. (think water treatment)
What is to remove organic waste and kills germs
This is a marine environment that requires life to be able to live both and land and in the sea.
What is the intertidal zone
This is the best way to describe 97% of the Earth's water?
What is salt water in the ocean?
This is why we can find a diverse group of life living in estuaries.
what is the presence of both fresh and salt water. Mixed fresh and salt water.
What are the three components that affect dissolved gases in the ocean?
What is pressure, temperature, and salinity
This is the area of a river or stream that is most negatively impacted by farms.
What is DOWNSTREAM.
This is the most likely outcome of depleted levels of O2 (oxygen) in a fresh water environment.
What are dead fish?
This is the best comparison of the total amount of water on earth at a certain time over Earth's history.
What is the total amount of water does not change there is always the same amount of water on Earth?
This is why we use remote control devices to explore extremely deep areas of the ocean.
What is it is unsafe for humans to be too deep under the oceans surface because of immense pressure. (can crush you like an empty pepsi can)
What is the earth's largest source of drinkable water?
What is an aquifier/ well
This is the government agency who is responsible for setting standards(laws) for how many pollutants (deadly chemicals) companies can dispose of in the water and that is allowed to be in our tap water.
What is the EPA, The Environmental Protection Agency.
This is the main advantage of having and maintaining proper water treatment plant facilities.
What is reducing water borne illnesses. Remember cholera. No. thats because of water treatment.
