Tides
The daily rise and fall of the Earth's waters on its coastline.
What is tides?
A relationship where both organisms benefit.
What is mutualism?
The steepest part of the ocean.
What is the continental shelf.
Longshore drift.
What is as waves come into shore, water washes up the beach at an angle, carrying sand grains.
Plankton.
What is they start the food chain and cannot swim against the current?
High tide.
What is water at its highest point?
A relationship where only one organism benefits and one is unaffected.
What is commensalism?
The flattest part of the ocean.
What is the oceanic plain?
Rip current.
What is when a rush of water that flows rapidly back to sea through a narrow opening?
Phytoplankton
What is plankton that does photosynthesis.
Low tide.
What is water at its lowest point?
A relationship where only one organism benefits and one is harmed.
What is parasitism?
Intertidal zone.
What is the shallowest, animals have to adapt to be in and out of the water during the day, lots of abrasion and movement from the waves?
Diurnal tide.
What is one high and one low per day?
Zooplankton
What is animal plankton that eat their own food?
Spring tide.
What is the sun and moon line up and combined gravitational greatest tide range (high highs, low lows)?
Leeches are an example of what kind of relationship?
What is parasitism?
Mesopaliogic zone.
What is 200 - 1000 meters deep. Some animals living in these depths come to the surface to feed. Other animals hunt. Some eat organic matter that comes from the ocean surface.
Waves
What is how energy moves through bodies of water?
Holoplankton
What is plankton that stay plankton for their whole lives?
Particle movement in waves.
What is water molecules move in circles, up, forward, down, and back?
Corals and zooxanthellae are an example of what kind of relationship?
What is mutualism?
Epipelagic zone.
What is the top half or so where light can penetrate, most diverse and abundant life zone?
The size of a wave depends on what?
What is the strength of the wind, the distance over which the wind blows, and the depth of the water?
