Deep Ocean Quiz

How does the passage explain the relationship between the deep ocean environment and the creatures that live there?

• The deep ocean is a bright and warm place, making it easy for creatures to survive.

• The deep ocean is harsh, with frigid temperatures and no sunlight, so creatures have adapted to survive in extreme conditions.

• The deep ocean is a safe and easy habitat for most sea creatures.

• The deep ocean provides abundant food, so all creatures have plenty to eat.

How does the passage describe the relationship between Challenger Deep and the Mariana Trench?

• Challenger Deep is a small island in the Mariana Trench.

• Challenger Deep is the deepest known point on Earth and is part of the Mariana Trench.

• The Mariana Trench is another name for Challenger Deep.

• Challenger Deep is a volcano located in the Mariana Trench.

What does the passage suggest about the interaction between deep-sea creatures and their environment?

• Deep-sea creatures rely on sunlight to find food.

• Many deep-sea creatures store (cache) food or adapt to survive without much food.

• Most deep-sea creatures live close to the ocean’s surface to stay warm.

• The deep-sea environment is well understood, and scientists know everything about its creatures.

What is the relationship between the terms "dormant" and "extinct" in the passage?

• Both words mean that volcanoes will never erupt again.

• Dormant volcanoes are still capable of erupting, while extinct volcanoes will not erupt again.

• Dormant volcanoes are underwater, while extinct volcanoes are on land.

• Both words describe the movement of ocean currents.

Based on the passage, how did scientists first learn about giant squids?

• By capturing them in the deep ocean.

• By finding their corpses before ever seeing one alive.

• By observing them in aquariums.

• By tracking their migration patterns with satellites.

How does the passage explain the relationship between the deep ocean and exploration?

• The deep ocean is easy to explore because of the clear water and bright light.

• The deep ocean is largely unexplored because of its extreme conditions and difficulty in reaching it.

• The deep ocean has been completely mapped and studied by scientists.

• Scientists have discovered all the species that live in the deep ocean.

How does the passage show the connection between the terms "frigid" and "harsh environment"?

• The passage explains that frigid temperatures make the deep ocean a difficult place to survive.

• "Frigid" means warm, making the ocean an easy environment to live in.

• The passage suggests that frigid temperatures have no effect on the deep ocean environment.

• "Frigid" only describes the ocean’s surface, while the deep ocean is warm.

What relationship does the passage suggest between the terms "cache" and "hibernate"?

• They both describe ways that some animals survive in challenging environments.

• They mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably.

• "Cache" means to stay still, while "hibernate" means to store food.

• Both words only apply to land animals, not deep-sea creatures.

How does the passage explain the relationship between deep-sea creatures and sunlight?

• Deep-sea creatures rely on sunlight to navigate their environment.

• Since no sunlight reaches the deep ocean, deep-sea creatures must adapt to total darkness.

• The deep ocean receives some sunlight, which allows plants to grow.

• Deep-sea creatures only come to the surface during the day to get sunlight.

What does the passage suggest about the interaction between volcanoes and the ocean floor?

• The ocean floor is completely flat and has no volcanoes.

• The ocean floor has active, dormant, and extinct volcanoes, which help shape its geography.

• All volcanoes in the ocean are extinct and no longer erupt.

• Volcanoes only exist on land and not in the ocean.
