8.E.1.2 Unit 5 Test Review

Front

How does temperature affect the amount of oxygen in ocean water?

Back

The amount of oxygen in ocean water increases as temperature decreases.

Front

What is primarily measured using SONAR?

Back

Ocean depth.

Front

What is the cause and effect relationship described in the process of nutrient upwelling?

Back

Winds blow water away from the shoreline, allowing nutrients to rise from the ocean depths to sustain organisms.

Front

How does SONAR technology work in measuring ocean depth?

Back

SONAR uses sound waves to detect the distance to the ocean floor by measuring the time it takes for the sound to return.
