Weathering is______

Erosion is________

More acidic water will be able to breakdown rocks, shells, and coral's exoskeleton; chemical compositon change

This definiton belongs to which type of weathering?

The movement of water and suspended sand will breakdown rocks and coral's exoskeleton; breakdown by temp changes

This is the definition of which type of weathering?

Burrowing animals and coral's predators

This is the definiton to which type of weathering?

There are 4 types of Erosion, what are they?

After breaking down and transporting , the particles are suspended in the water and delivered somewhere. This delivery(deposition) of new particles in a new location is_______

intertidal region on a shoreline, between the highest and lowest spring tide marks = between the highest high tide & lowest low tide mark on the coast

How are Muddy shores formed?

Where the river ends at sea

The vertical movement of water on the coast/the change in water height on the coastline; due to the gravitational pull of the Moon, Earth, & Sun. 

The distance on the coast between the high and low water/tides (changes daily)

 largest tidal range

Occurs twice a month

Greatest gravitational pull

When Earth, Moon, & Sun are in a straight line

New & Full Moon

smallest tidal range

Occurs twice a month

Weakest gravitational pull

When Earth, Moon, & Sun are at right angles

1st and 3rd Quarter Moon

Driven by global wind patterns caused by uneven heating of Earth’s surface by the Sun.

- Areas with large amounts of solar radiation (equator) have excess heat energy in the air, causing air to rise.

Cooling phase instead of warming phase caused by stronger than average trade winds off Peru, allows more cold water from Humboldt Current to rise = extra nutrients, more productivity and increased hurricane activity in Atlantic basin

What did El Nino slow/stop?

The horizontal flow of water through the ocean

What phenomenon is shown by this map?

Currents near the ____ bring warm water to areas where they circulate (ex: the Gulf Stream)

Ocean currents near the _____ bring cool water to areas where they circulate ( ex: The California Current)

The major wind patterns change, causing a change in the ocean and atmosphere currents which affects the ocean temperatures. This is called

Which of the following is NOT a place where convection occurs on Earth?

Because of the Coriolis Effect, ocean currents in the Southern Hemisphere rotate which direction?

Because of the Coriolis Effect, ocean currents in the Northern Hemisphere rotate which direction?

the apparent curvature of wind and ocean currents due to the rotation of the Earth

Ocean Ridges are formed by _______ plate boundaries

What causes convection currents?

Why does oceanic crust subduct under continental crust?

How would you calculate the tidal range for this date?

Which type of tide would occur when the moon looks like this?

What is the tidal range on January 8th (1/8)

The difference in height between the high-tide mark and the low-tide mark is the

Based on this map of the Bay of Fundy, Which study site would have the largest Tidal Range?

Based on this map of the Bay of Fundy, which study site would have the smallest tidal range?

Select all the statements about the The Coriolis Effect that are correct.

Which of the following is not an example of the littoral zone?

Process by which convection currents carry the ocean floor like a conveyer belt and sinks into deep-ocean trench and back into the mantle

The theory that pieces of Earth’s lithosphere float on the asthenosphere and are in constant, slow motion, driven by convection currents in the mantle

What plate boundary is pictured here?

What plate boundary is pictured here?

What plate boundary is pictured here?

Which of the following regarding the image are TRUE? (Mark all that apply.)
