The branch of science that deals with the physical and chemical properties and phenomena of the sea is called:

Storms, flooding, distribution of temperatures, and regulation of climate are all affected by:

Sound Navigation and Ranging, created during WWII

satellites used to study expanses of the ocean surface

All of the following are examples of remote sensing except

A researcher who studied the sea and all forms of life in water, developed scuba

was an English naturalist, geologist, and biologist, best known for his contributions to the science of evolution.

He served as the chief scientist on the Challenger expedition; his work there revolutionized oceanography and led to his knighthood.

the sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate.

the formation of new areas of oceanic crust, which occurs through the upwelling of magma at mid-ocean ridges and its subsequent outward movement on either side.

the slope between the outer edge of the continental shelf and the deep ocean floor.

The gently sloping area at the base of the continental slope.

The deep-sea floor.

The shallow, gently sloping section of the continental margin that extends from the shore to the point where the slope gets steeper.

a seamount with a flat top.

Long, narrow depressions on the seafloor. These chasms are the deepest parts of the ocean—and some of the deepest natural spots on Earth.

the tension of the surface film of a liquid caused by the attraction of the particles in the surface layer by the bulk of the liquid, which tends to minimize surface area.

The weak chemical bonds which hold together the oxygen and hydrogen atoms in water.

The smallest wind driven waves.

When particles and sediments are transported down the beach toward the shore by the wave

Areas of rapid flowing water back towards the ocean.

a tide just after a new or full moon, when there is the greatest difference between high and low water.

a tide just after the first or third quarters of the moon when there is the least difference between high and low water.

Only one high and one low tide each day.

two nearly equal high and low tides each day.

two uneven tides a day, or one high and one low

Waves that form under the surface.

area of ocean or lake surface over which the wind blows in an essentially constant direction, thus generating waves.

a wind blowing steadily toward the equator from the northeast in the northern hemisphere or the southeast in the southern hemisphere, especially at sea.

a wind blowing from the west.

Surface currents driven by the wind that combine into huge, circular systems.

Cyclical changes in ocean circulation that affect climate.

Rotating storms that are generated over the warm waters of the tropics.

Currents driven by density and temperature.

The water at the ocean surface is moved primarily by winds that blow in certain patterns because of the Earth's spin and the Coriolis Effect.

an irregularly occurring and complex series of climatic changes affecting the equatorial Pacific region and beyond every few years, characterized by the appearance of unusually warm, nutrient-poor water off northern Peru and Ecuador, typically in late December.

a cooling of the water in the equatorial Pacific that occurs at irregular intervals and is associated with widespread changes in weather patterns, but less extensive and damaging in their effects.

A major portion of the free oxygen found in the ocean comes from…
