- Q1What is one way that the ocean is important?The ocean contains salt water.All of the ocean has been explored.The ocean provides almost all of the living space on Earth.The ocean has different salinities.30s
- Q2What is salinity?Salinity is how much carbon dioxide is found in water.Salinity is how much oxygen is dissolved in water.Salinity is how much sugar is dissolved in water.Salinity is how much salt is dissolved in water.30s
- Q3What can increase the salinity of ocean water?The formation of ocean iceRiver water entering the oceanHigh precipitationLow evaporation30s
- Q4What can decrease the salinity of water?Low precipitationHigh evaporationHigh precipitationFormation of ocean ice30s
- Q5What is density?The curving of currentsHow packed together the particles are in a substanceThe mixing of two different substancesThe steepness of the continental slope30s
- Q6How does the salinity of ocean water affect its density?Lower salinity water sinks to the bottom of the ocean.Lower salinity water has greater density.Higher salinity water has a greater density.Salinity does NOT affect density of ocean water.30s
- Q7What is an estuary?a place where animals from the deep ocean livea place where there is very little lifea place where fresh water and salt water meeta place where the salinity is very high30s
- Q8Why are estuaries important?Estuaries are places where many young marine animals live.Estuaries are areas all fresh water.Estuaries are areas with high salinity.Estuaries have many predators for young marine life.30s
- Q9Currents in the ocean are masses of moving water. Why are currents important?Currents move in straight lines around the globe.Currents separate animals from their parents.Currents are formed by the gravitational pull of the sun and moon.Currents move heat and nutrients in the ocean.30s
- Q10Many factors influence currents. Which of the following is NOT an influence on currents?the moonocean floor topographyCoriolis effectdifferences in density30s
- Q11What is the Coriolis effect?Currents curve because Earth rotatesGravity causes currents to moveAreas of high pressure have windsThe moon affects currents30s
- Q12Why is the Great Pacific Garbage Patch a problem?The plastics in the trash get smaller and hurt life in the oceanThe trash can be recycled into new plastic itemsThe trash spreads from one ocean to anotherThe trash can be seen from space30s
- Q13What is El Nino?El Nino is a short-term climate change centered in the Pacific OceanEl Nino is a change in the ocean tidesEl Nino is a climate change when the water gets colder in the Pacific OceanEl Nino greatly affects the climate in Europe30s
- Q14Which of the numbered arrows is the Gulf Stream?214330s
- Q15What is current 4?warm water currentGulf Stream currentdeep warm currentcold water current30s
