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