Sarah can float more easily in ocean water than in water in a swimming pool. Why is it easier for her to float in ocean water?
ocean water is denser
ocean water is deeper
there is a larger volume of ocean water to float in
she has a smaller mass in ocean water
Which best describes the Gulf Stream?
A cold ocean current that cools the weather off near Australia.
A cold ocean current that helps decrease global warming.
A warm ocean current that influences weather along the east coast of the U.S. and up toward Europe.
A warm ocean current that influences weather in Cuba and moves toward Antarctica.
A _____________________________ tide is produced when the Earth, and sun are aligned as in the diagram
neap tide
spring tide
high tide
low tide
How do deep ocean currents form?
The form as warm, dense water sinks and flows beneath cold ocean water.
They form as cold, dense water sinks and flows beneath warm ocean water.
They form as warm, dense water sinks and flows with other warm ocean water.
The wind blows causing the deep ocean currents.
Surface ocean waves are formed by
earthquakes
landslides
impacts of cosmic bodies
wind
Look at the picture. Which of the following statements best explains why the city of Hopedale is cooler than the city of Stornoway?
Hopedale has a longer duration of isolation each day.
Hopedale is influenced by a cold ocean current.
Stornoway is farther from the equator
Stornoway is on a different continent
What is the relationship between density and salinity in the ocean?
As salinity in the ocean decreases, density of the ocean increases.
As salinity in the ocean increases, density of the ocean increases.
There is no relationship between salinity and density in the oceans.
Salinity and density always remain the same throughout different parts of the ocean.
Which statement best describes the movement of ocean waves?
water remains in the same place as wave (energy) travel through it
water moves because there is a difference in density of the water creating a wave
water moves across the ocean's surface
all the above
What 2 factors largely impact the density of ocean water?
Density and Pressure
Temperature and Coriolis Effect
Temperature and Salinity
Pressure and Salinity
How do warm-water currents affect the coastal areas along which they flow?
cool the coast
cause snow to fall
warm the coast
cause higher tides
When the moon is at 1st quarter or 3rd quarter moon, what type of tide will we experience?
rip tide
spring tide
neap tide
breaker tide
What happens to the ocean as depth increases?
temperature increases
salinity decreases, temperature decreases
pressure decreases
temperature decreases, salinity increases
What kind of tide (spring or neap) will cause the highest high tides during a month?
spring
neap
A large stream of water that moves through the ocean is called a
longshore drift
current
tide
wave
The patterns of SURFACE currents are affected by
high and low tides
global winds and the Coriolis Effect
the Moon's gravitational pull
the Sun's gravitational pull
What type of TIDE occurs when the Sun and the Moon are positioned at a right angle in relation to the Earth?

once
monthly
twice

Waves in the ocean can have which of the following effects?
Slowing the rotation of Earth
Reducing the salinity in water

The data table above contains information about high and low tides for a particular location. The data in this table best supports which of the following conclusions?
The difference between high and low tides is greatest during a new or full moon.
The high and low tides are always exactly the same during first and third quarter moons.
The highest high and lowest low tides usually happen a few days after we see a full moon.
High tides get gradually higher and low tides get gradually lower throughout the lunar cycle.
How do deep ocean currents form?
Changes in wind speed
Changes in water density because of convection currents
The moon's gravity causing sea level to rise and fall
Earth's rotation
Which letter shows the wavelength?
