How does temperature change the deeper you travel into the ocean? Why? (Choose the BEST answer)
The temperature decreases as you get lower.
The temperature increases as you get lower.
The temperature decreases as you get lower because of the lack of sunlight.
The temperature increases as you get lower because the sunlight increases.
How does pressure change the deeper you travel into the ocean? Why? (Choose the BEST answer)
Pressure increases as you get lower.
Pressure decreases as you get lower.
Pressure increases as you get lower because there is more water above you.
Pressure decreases as you get lower because there is more water above you.
How does ocean salinity change within the first 1,000 feet of depth? Why? (Choose the BEST answer.)
The top layer is less salty than the lower layer since the water molecules evaporate into the clouds taking the salt with them.
The top layer is less salty than the lower layer due to evaporation.
The top layer is saltier than the lower layer due to evaporation.
The top layer is saltier than the lower layer since the water molecules evaporate into the clouds leaving the salt behind.

The horizontal distance between wave crests is the
wave height
frequency
trough
wavelength
The size of a wave is NOT affected by the
strength of the wind
length of time the wind blows across the water
salinity of the water
distance the wind blows across the water
As a wave nears shore, the wave height increases and the wavelength
stays the same
increases
doubles
decreases
