Water and Currents
Give the difference between cohesion and adhesion
Cohesion: Like to like
Adhesion: Like to different
Describe how density changes between hot and cold water and high and low salinity water
Hot is less dense than cold
High salinity is more dense than low salinity
Give the formula for density.
Density = Mass / Volume
This is the location within the earth that the first motion can be felt when an earthquake occurs.
Focus
The oldest known one of these dates back over 9,000 years
Dance
Give a real life example of the surface tension of water.
Examples may included:
Water bugs on top of water
Spilled water beading up
Divers frothing up water before jumping from heights
Give the definition of specific heat capacity. Make sure you are exact!
The amount of energy needed to raise 1 gram of matter 1 degrees celsius
Describe the process of upwelling
Cold nutrient rich water is moved from the bottom of the ocean to the top
This characteristic of lava determines the force of the volcanic eruption.
Viscosity
Breakdance was first featured as an Olympic sport in this year
2024
Give the difference between a thermocline and a halocline
Thermocline: Quick change in temperature
Halocline: Quick change in salinity
Describe the three ways heat is transferred
Conduction: Through direct contact
Convection: The process through which matter rises and sinks
Radiation: Emission of electromagnetic radiation
Give the term for when a solid moves directly to the gaseous state without becoming a liquid first. Is heat leaving or being added?
Sublimation and heat is being added.
Give the different between soil texture, soil profile, and soil composition
Soil texture: how it feels
Soil profile: Horizontal look at the horizons
Soil composition: How much sand, silt, and clay are in a sample
This dance move was popularized and became one of the most iconic moves in the world when performed live for the song Billie Jean
The Moonwalk
Describe how the temperature between surface and deep ocean water changes throughout the year
Winter: Top- Cold Bottom-Cold
Spring: Top- Hot Bottom- Cold
Summer: Top- Hot Bottom- Hot
Fall: Top- Cold Bottom- Hot
What is the least dense combination of sea water? What is the most dense?
Least: Warm Low Salinity
Most: Cold High Salinity
List the factors that determine how fast or slow water runsoff
Rate of Precipitation, Slope, Soil Composition, Vegetation
Hip-Hop originated in this borough/county in America
The Bronx, NY
What are the driving forces behind a surface ocean current versus a deep ocean current
Surface: Driven by wind
Deep: Driven by changes in density
Describe why temperatures are more stable the closer an area to is the coast or other large body of water
Water has high specific heat, so it heats and cools slower. This prevents spikes in temperatures in the surrounding areas.
Describe the weather that La Nina causes here in the SE
Warm and Dry
List the special properties of water we discussed in class.
Cohesion, Adhesion, High Specific Heat, Phase Change, Capillary Action, Surface Tension
This dance, originally used as a war dance, is now preformed by people of Maori/Kiwi descent at sporting events and other group competitions.
