Ocean water is constantly changing from liquid to gas and back to liquid. What is this?
What is the water cycle?
100
A canyon in the ocean.
What is trench?
100
Wind can cause the water of the oceans to move up and down. This is motion causes this.
What is a wave?
100
Which motion best describes the way waves move?
What is up and down?
100
Denser water flows beneath less dense water causing a ...
What is a deep ocean current?
200
The process of liquid changing into a gas.
What is evaporation?
200
A large, flat area in the ocean.
What is an abyssal plain?
200
Strong and gusty winds blowing over a large area.
What is a storm surge?
200
Does the side-to-side movement of water particles determine the height of a wave?
What is no?!
200
On the ocean floor when one plate slides beneath another, what is formed?
What is a trench?
300
Water droplets that fall from the clouds because they are too heavy to stay in the air form this.
What is precipitation?
300
Where the ocean floor is shallow.
What is continental shelf.
300
Steady winds cause the oceans to flow in paths like rivers. What is this steady flow?
What is a surface current?
300
Which factors affect the density of deep-ocean currents?
What is temperature and amount a salt?
300
This is the area of the oceans that is the richest in resources.
What is the shore zone?
400
The process of gas changing to a liquid.
What is condensation?
400
The place where land meets the ocean.
What is the shore zone?
400
When colder, saltier water mixes with warmer, less salty water.
What is a deep-ocean current?
400
Erosion makes the beaches smaller because...
What is it carries sand and sediment away from the shore.
400
Why are waves usually bigger in an ocean than in a small lake?
What is oceans have larger areas, so they have larger waves. The strength of the wind is also a factor.
500
A daily change in the ocean's water level.
What is tide?
500
Where the floor rises up in the ocean to form mountain ranges.
What is the mid-ocean ridge?
500
Which has the greatest effect on changing tides?
What is the pull of the moon's gravity?
500
The gravitational force of the moon on Earth's oceans is stronger than the gravitational force of the sun because the...
What is the moon is closer to Earth than the sun?
500
What is the difference between a wave and a surface current?
What is waves are an up and down motion and currents are like rivers of water that flow in the ocean.
