Ocean Tides
100
This is the measure of the amount of salt dissolved in seawater
What is Salinity
100
These remove salt from seawater
What is a desalination plant?
100
This is a circulation tha brings deep, cold, nutrient rich water to the ocean's surface.
What is upwelling?
100
The highest point of a wave is called the _______while the lowest point is the ___________
What is crest and the trough?
100
Tides are caused by the gravitational pull of these on the Earth.
What is the Sun and the Moon?
200
This ion is added to the oceans, not from dissolved rocks, but from erupting volcanoes
What is chloride?
200
Frozen seawater leaves this behind
What is salt?
200
This is the shifting of winds and surface currents from their expected paths and is caused by the Earth's rotation.
What is the Coriolis Effect?
200
This is from the highest point of one wave to another, or from the lowest point of one wave to the lowest point of another.
What is the wavelength?
200
This place has the highest tidal range of anywhere on Earth.
What is the Bay of Fundy?
300
It gets there from our atmosphere and when plants go through photosynthesis.
What is oxygen?
300
Desalination plants often use this form of energy to do the job.
What is solar energy
300
This is the direction of the currents in the northern hemisphere.
What is clockwise, or easterly?
300
This moves forward in a wave while the water remains in about the same place.
What is energy?
300
These tides occur when high tides are higher and low tides are lower.
What is Spring Tides?
400
It affects our weather/climate and provides us with many resources
What is the oceans?
400
Ocean water is more of this compared to fresh water
What is denser?
400
The reason sailing ships in the 1700's were slower from England to N. America than from N.American to England.
What is going against the currents?
400
Collapsing waves are called these.
What is breakers?
400
These tides form when the Sun, Earth, and the Moon form a right angle and cause high tides to be lower and low tides to be higher than normal
What is Neap Tides?
500
Volcanoes released this which eventually led to the oceans forming
What is water vapor?
500
Two ways seawater becomes denser.
What is increased salinity and decreased temperatures.
500
The density of water can be found when using this formula.
What is Mass divided by Volume
500
A rhythmic movement that carries energy through matter or space.
What is a wave?
500
This is why the moon has a greater gravitational effect on Earth's tides than our larger Sun.
What is it is closer?
