Chapter 16 (Mix)

Portion of the shoreline that lies between the high and low tide lines

• methane hydrate

• benthic zone

• photic zone

• intertidal zone

long lining fishing

• the use of long fishing lines and hooks to catch fish
• Areas where continental surfaces extend under the shallow ocean water around the continents
• Portion of the shoreline that lies between the high and low tide lines
• the use of fishing nets of great length and depth

benthic zone

• Portion of the marine biome that is shallow enough for sunlight to penetrate.
• Portion of the shoreline that lies between the high and low tide lines
• bottom of an aquatic ecosystem; consists of sand and sediment and supports its own community of organisms
• open water above the ocean floor

red tide

• any other species of fish, mammals, or birds that are caught that are not the target organism.
• An algal bloom that occurs in salt water by red colored micro-organisms
• Portion of the marine biome that is shallow enough for sunlight to penetrate.
• tropical trees that grow along coasts and help maintain the health of coastal environments

bottom trawling

• Areas where continental surfaces extend under the shallow ocean water around the continents
• An ice like solid that consists of molecules of methane within a crystal network of water molecules
• temperate zones, estuaries dominated by salt tolerant grasses above the low tide line and by sea grasses under the water.
• a fishing technique in which the ocean floor is literally scraped by heavy nets that smash everything in their path.

mangroves

• temperate zones, estuaries dominated by salt tolerant grasses above the low tide line and by sea grasses under the water.
• Mass movements of surface water produced by prevailing winds blowing over the oceans.
• tropical trees that grow along coasts and help maintain the health of coastal environments
• The most diverse marine biome on Earth, found in warm, shallow waters beyond the shoreline.

The movement of deep, cold, and nutrient-rich water to the surface

• downwelling
• upwelling
• coral reef
• currents

The rapid growth of a population of algae

• coral reef
• algal bloom
• estuaries
• pelagic zone

salt marshes

• tropical trees that grow along coasts and help maintain the health of coastal environments
• temperate zones, estuaries dominated by salt tolerant grasses above the low tide line and by sea grasses under the water.
• The most diverse marine biome on Earth, found in warm, shallow waters beyond the shoreline.
• bottom of an aquatic ecosystem; consists of sand and sediment and supports its own community of organisms
