What process allows organisms to live at the bottom of the ocean?

• Algae use the light to produce energy through photosynthesis

• Upwellings bring nutrients to the bottom of the ocean

• Algae use the light to produce energy through cellular respiration

• Organisms use hydrothermal vents to produce energy through chemical reactions

Why is the oceanic zone not considered productive?

• There is little to no sunlight so photosynthesis is reduced

• Photosynthesis is reduced because of organisms eating all the photyplankton

• It's too hot for producers to use photosynthesis

• The organisms that use photosynthesis are found only in deep water

How do you relatively age rock layers?

• Using the law of superposition

• Uranium-238

• Carbon-14

Why are ROVs able to go into the deep ocean?

• They are built to reach high speeds

• They are built to deal with extreme pressure from the water

• They are built to transport tons of divers

• They are built to be able to reach the surface at a high speed

What could cause a well to STOP working?

• decreased recharge causing the water table to drop

• decreased recharge causing the water table to rise

• increased recharge causing the water table to drop

• increased recharge causing the water table to rise

How does the water that goes through aquifers get cleaned?

• its filtered by the rocks and soil in the earth

• it's cleaned by salt

• it doesn't

• the oceans clean it

Why are estuaries good nurseries?

• it has places to hide from predators and various resources

• it has a ton of nitrates and chemicals

• it located in a river

• It has a high salinity

How does water circulate around the Earth and through various organisms and locations?

• the water cycle

• the carbon cycle

• the nitrogen cycle
