MidTerm Pt. 1Intro to Marine Science

During which time period did ocean exploration slow down in most of Europe, while the Vikings and the Far East continued with oceanic exploration and discovery?

• Stone Age

• Bronze Age

• Dark Ages

• Renaissance

• Modern Times

To study marine life deep within the depths of the ocean, scientists take advantage of ALL of these tools EXCEPT:

• Remotely operated vehicles (ROV's)
• Scuba
• Sonar
• Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV's)
• Satellites

The scientific method can best be described as:

• Experiments in labs
• Collecting data in the field
• Observing animals in their natural habitat
• Following a set of procedures to learn about the natural world
• Using induction and deduction

This is thought to have originated in the Ocean.

• water
• salt
• science
• Earth's crust
• life

The first marine laboratory established in the U.S. is

• Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
• Scripps Institution of Oceanography
• Friday Harbor Marine Lab
• Hopkins Marine Station
• NASA

The Challenger Expedition made collections of marine organisms:

• in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans only
• in all the oceans around the world except the Arctic and Antarctica
• in the North Sea only
• in the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans only
• in the Mediterranean Sea and North Sea only

Charles Darwin sailed on the HMS Beagle and observed, researched, and documented marine life such as coral atolls, plankton and what other organism which the scientific community still refers to his research on this organism today?

• whales
• finches
• sloths
• oysters
• barnacles

What marine laboratory is in Ft. Pierce near us and works with FAU graduate students?

• Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute
• Friday Harbor Marine Laboratory
• Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute
• Scripps Institution of Oceanography
• NASA

The factors that might affect observations and can be manipulated are called?

• Controls
• Experiments
• Variables
• Hypothesis
• Theories

Who is the first scientist credited with documenting that seafloor life varies with depth?

• James Cook

• Charles Wyville Thompson

• Edward Forbes
