Multiple Choice

degree of compactness of a substance

• mass

• volume

• density

• weight

Multiple Choice

• more dense

• less dense

Multiple Choice

the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of water is pretty high. Is that good or bad for marine life?

• good

• bad

Multiple Choice

the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of water is pretty high. Is that good or bad for marine life?

• good

• bad

Multiple Choice

the sticking together of particles of the same substance:

• adhesion

• cohesion

• magnetism

Multiple Choice

the higher the viscosity means that substance has

• more resistance to flow

• a high ability to flow

Multiple Choice

something that has the ability to dissolve another substance (the other one is the thing that is being dissolved)

• solvent

• solute

insects like water striders take advantage of this cohesion/surface tension to move across the surface of water

Multiple Select

which two elements make up salt?

• calcium

• sodium

• potassium

• nitrogen

• chloride

A beaker of water with sodium chloride ions bound by attractions between opposite charges. In the water, the weakly charged water molecules are attracted to the charged ions, and they cluster around the ions. This weakens the bonds between ions, which separate, or dissociate.

Multiple Choice

properties like light levels, pressure, and sound are

• the same underwater as on land

• different underwater as on land

Multiple Choice

the level that light can penetrate water is always the same no matter the body of water

• true

• false

Diagram of a river, fissure, and volcano transporting ions into the ocean. Ions like sodium, potassium, and magnesium tend to enter the ocean from rivers; sulfide and chloride enter from fissures and volcanoes.

Multiple Choice

which color of light can reach the deepest in the ocean?

• blue

• green

• red

• yellow

Multiple Choice

At sea level, how many atmospheres of pressure are you at?

• 1

• 2

• 3

• 0

Multiple Choice

sound travels _________ in water, than in air

• faster

• slower

Multiple Choice

the amount of dissolved salt in the water

• alkalinity

• salinity

• chlorinity

• sodium chloridity

Multiple Choice

the dissolved materials are the

• solute

• solvent

Sound travels fastest near the surface and at great depths. Its minimum speed is around 1,000 m deep, where the Deep Sound Channel is located.

Chloride, sodium, sulfate, magnesium, calcium, and potassium (in that order) are the most common ions found in seawater.

• 15%

• 30%

• 50%

Multiple Choice

greater CO2 concentrations can affect behavior of marine organisms

• true

• false
