100
Very deep gully in ocean floor where no light reaches
What is trench
100
Formula for Density
What is Mass/Volume
100
Define Salinity
What is the amount of salt in a liquid/substance
100
How does the Gulf Stream affect the temperature of the eastern coast of the U.S.
What is it brings warm ocean waters up from the Caribbean warming the air.
100
What is the solid state of water called?
What is ice
200
Underwater mountain range
What is Mid-oceanic ridge
200
units of a liquid density
What is g/mL
200
What is a hydrometer used for?
to measure the density of a liquid
200
How does the California Current affect climate along the California coast
This cold current keeps the coastal cities cooler.
200
How does the temperature of water affect its density?
Warm water is less dense than cooler water
300
The drop off from the shallow depths to the flat bottom of the ocean
What is continental slope
300
Density of water
What is 1 g/mL
300
Why are the oceans salty?
Runoff from higher elevations has brought minerals rich with salt to the oceans
300
If an object has a density of .78 g/mL will it sink or float in water
What is float. It is less than a density of 1.
400
Hole in the ocean floor that allows magma to spew up.
What is rift
400
An object that measures liquid density would sink below the tap water point if the solution were a density greater than or less than one.
What is less than one.
400
How does climate affect the salinity of a body of water?
What is a warmer climate would evaporate more leaving more salt behind.
400
If climate change causes the artic ocean to melt would it raise sea levels? Why or why not
What No. The ice already diplaces its volume.
400
Plates moving in opposite directions are called
What is divergent
500
Name of the flat part of the ocean floor
What is abyssal plain
500
An object has a length of 2cm, width of 1cm and height of 2cm. It also has a mass of 10g. Will this object float or sink in water?
What is sink. Density is greater than one.
500
How does salinity affect density of water
The saltier the water the more dense the water is.
500
What is thermohaline circulation; the blue and red lines on a map
What is warm water rises, these lines are red, and cold water sinks these lines are blue,due to their different densities.
500
Plates moving into one another are called? AND what can they create on the ocean floor.
What is Converging plates and Trenches
