how close the moon is
pull of the moon's gravity
time of the day
Which factors affect the density of the deep-ocean currents?

Which three of the following choices determines the height of a wave?
strength of wind
amount of time the wind blows
side-to-side movement of water particles
size of area over which wind blows

removes sand and sediment from the shore.
deposits sand and sediment near the shore.
breaks up sediment into smaller pieces.
fills the ocean with sand and sediment.

moon is smaller than the sun.
sun is made of only gas.
moon is closer to Earth than the sun.
moon's craters attract water.
neap tide

Deep-ocean current:
steady winds blowing over the surface of the ocean
low tide - lack of water covering the beach
gusty winds made during a strong storm
colder, denser water flowing beneath warmer, less dense water
On the ocean floor when one plate slides beneath another, a _____ and _____ may form.
plain
shelf
trench
volcano
The area of the ocean which is richest in resources is the ________.
abyssal plain
mid-ocean ridge
Mariana Trench
shore zone
Waves are caused by wind moving across the surface of the water. Why are waves on the ocean larger?
Waves have a longer time to be affected by the wind.
The ocean has a larger area for the waves to form.
There is more water available.
Surfers need larger waves on the ocean.
The difference between a wave and a surface current is ______.
A wave moves in a circular motion; not moving forward.
A surface current moves forward due to wind and the sun's heat.
A surface current moves forward like a river
There is no difference. They are essentially the same.
Deposition:
the process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents.
the action of redistributing minerals and silica.
What is evaporation?
gas changing into a liquid
liquid changing into a gas
liquid changing into a solid
snow, rain, sleet, freezing rain
What is condensation?
gas changing into a liquid
liquid changing into a gas
liquid changing into a solid
snow, rain, sleet, freezing rain
What is precipitation?
gas changing into a liquid
liquid changing into a gas
liquid changing into a solid
water that falls to Earth as rain, snow, sleet, or hail
huge flat areas of ocean floor that are covered with thick layers of sediment
