This technology was used by Scientist and historians to locate the wreck of the Titanic. What was it called?
SUBMERSIBLES
X-RAYS
INFRARED PHOTOGRAPHY
SONAR
What is or Who is the ALVIN?
A modern submersible capable of deep ocean depths.
The Alvin is the newest in Oceanographic satellites that is working in coordination with the Topax/Poseidon.
The Alvin is the nickname for the world’s most famous oceanographer. He was the captain of the Challenger.
The Alvin is the leader of the first self-contained underwater biodome.
Once one form of technology located the Titanic, THIS form of technology may have told the Historians the CONDITION of the Titanic’s hull
Infrared Photograpy
Topax/Poseidon
Side - Scan Sonar
RADAR
Why does the oceanic food chain begin at the surface area and not at the the thermocline?
Sunlight cannot reach the thermocline
There are too many predators below the thermocline
There are no nutrients at the thermocline
It is too hot at the thermocline
If a fetch of water contains both salt and fresh water, the fetch is said to be:
Brackish
Unlivable
Transitional
Intergraded
Which of the following is NOT a chemical property of ocean water.
Ocean water taste like salted coconut.
Ocean water contains silicon
Ocean water contains dissolved gases
Ocean water contains nutrients
The depth at which the wave no longer affects the water. This is equal to half the wavelength.
Water base
Thermocline
the Abyss
The Fetch
Why do they call the waves that crash into the shoreline “Breakers”?
As the waves approach the shore, the waves speed up. The incoming waves stablize and bottom out on the shoreline.
The National Break Dancers conference is held at the beach every year.
As the waves approach the shore, the waves slow down. The incoming waves become unstable and their crest collapses
This is where most people go when they are on spring break
If the day comes that you find yourself trapped in a RIP CURRENT.....WHAT SHOULD YOU DO???
Bob up and down and scream for the lifeguard.
Swim to the side of the rip current
Swim straight into the rip current and let it run its course
Swim back up towards the shore
What makes scientist believe that ocean water originally came from volcanic sources.
The ocean water is salty
The ocean water does not evaporate
The oceans are extremely deep
There are traces of lava in marine fish
What is a Current?
A strong wave
An area of stability
An area of instability
Forceful moving water
Gentle movement of the water
When the ocean water swrils around a vortex and creates a whirlpool, this is called a:
gyre
upwelling
Rip Current
A Portal
When the ocean water currents bring up nutrients from the ocean bottom.
gyre
upwelling
Rip Current
A Portal
What is the relationship between the ocean water and a wave?
The waves energy travels through the ocean water.
The ocean wave is an example of moving ocean water.
The Latent heat of the ocean water provides the power for the waves.
The waves are a permanent topping for the ocean water.
The DEAD SEA has no plant or animal life because of the high salt content how did this high salt concentration developed.
Extreme volcanic activity
There is no input of freshwater
There was a salt water intrusion from the ocean
Extreme pollution from the people of that area.
How are the floats and the Topex Poseidon used by oceanographers?
To measure the ocean’s surface temperatures
To measure the ocean currents
To measure the wave conditions
To measure Humidity
To measure Barametric Pressure
Why does salt water freeze at a lower freezing point than fresh water? Do you suppose nature could cause it to freeze at an even lower freezing point?
The addition of the salt will change the freezing point of water.
The addition of the salt hinders the release of latent heat.
The addition of the salt changed the water chemically.
If more salt was added to the ocean water, the freezing point would become lower.
The tidal range is lowest during this time
Spring Tide
Neap Tide
During a full or new moon, the Sun, Earth, and Moon are all lined up
Spring Tide
Neap Tide
Solar tides diminish lunar tides, causing high tides to be lower and low tides to be higher than normal
Spring Tide
Neap Tide
have a greater tidal range during the winter in the northern hemisphere, when Earth is closest to the Sun
Spring Tide
Neap Tide
This will causes the high tide to be HIGHER, and the low tide to be LOWER
Spring Tide
Neap Tide
When there is a first or third-quarter moon, the Sun the Moon, and Earth form a right angle
Spring Tide
Neap Tide
