Unit 1: Water and Water Cycle

Required

4

Match the term to the correct definition.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Sublimation		The process of water changing from water vapor into tiny droplets to form clouds.
Condensation		The process of liquid water changing into water vapor.
Evaporation

Required

4

Match the term to the correct definition.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Surface Runoff		The process of water soaking into the soil and in between rock layers.
Groundwater		The process where water flows/runs downhill from land surfaces into rivers and streams and then back to the ocean/
Infiltration

Required

4

Match the term to the correct definition.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Deposition		Impermeable/impervious surfaces are solid surfaces that don't allow water to penetrate, forcing it to run off. Ex. Concrete
Impermeable		Allows water to sink into the soil to filter out pollutants and recharge the water table adding to the groundwater. Ex. Soil
Erosion

Unit 2: History of Oceanography

Required

4

Match the term to the correct definition.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Biological Oceanography		The study of the chemical composition of seawater and its interaction with the atmosphere and the sea floor.
Physical Oceanography		The study of how marine organisms develop, relate to one another, adapt to their environment, and interact with it.
Chemical Oceanography

Unit 2: Plate Tectonics and Geological Features

Required

5

Match the terms to the correct definition.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Continental Drift Theory		The hypothesis that the Earth's continents have moved over geologic time relative to each other.
Oceanic Crust

Required

4

Match the correct term to the definition.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Subduction		The sideways and downward movement of the edge of a plate of the earth's crust into the mantle beneath another plate.
Divergent Boundary		Where plates move towards each other.
Transform Boundary

Required

4

Match the correct term to the definition.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Mid Ocean Ridge		An underwater mountain range
Abyssal plain		The shallow, submerged edge of the continent.
Continental Shelf

Unit 3: Aquatic Life Zones

Required

3

Match the term to the correct definition.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Aphotic Zone		The bottom portion of the ocean.
Benthic Zone		The depth of the water where there is enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur.
Photic Zone		The depth of the water where there is little or no sunlight.

Required

3

Match the term to the correct definition.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Supralittoral		Part of the ocean floor from low tide to 200m down the edge of the continental shelf; permanently submerged under water.
Sublittoral		Part of the ocean floor between high and low tide. Sometimes submerged.
Littoral

Required

3

Match the term to the correct definition.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Lentic		Bodies of flowing water such as rivers and streams.
Brackish		Bodies of standing water such as lakes, ponds, and wetlands.
Lotic		Slightly salty, as is the mixture of river water and seawater in estuaries.

Required

3

Match the term to the correct definition.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Limnetic		Open water too deep for rooted plants but has light.
Littoral		Shallow area with rooted plants and waves – light through to bottom
Profundal		Deep part of lake with no light

Required

3

Match the term to the correct definition.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Adhesion		The surface film or "Skin" of a liquid caused by the attraction of the particles in the surface layer.
Surface tension		Water molecules are attracted to water molecules
Cohesion		Water molecules are attracted to other substances.

Required

3

Match the term to the correct definition.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Ocean Acidification		A reduction in the pH of the ocean over an extended period time, caused primarily by uptake of carbon dioxide
Dissolved oxygen		The amount of free oxygen that is present in water.
Salinity		The saltiness or amount of salt dissolved in a body of water

Required

3

Match the term to the correct definition.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Density		How much space an object or substance takes up (its volume) in relation to the amount of matter in that object or substance (its mass).
Buoyancy		The ability or tendency to float in water or air or some other fluid.
Viscosity		A liquid's resistance to flow due to internal friction.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Continental Drift Theory		The hypothesis that the Earth's continents have moved over geologic time relative to each other.
Oceanic Crust		A supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras.
Seafloor spreading		The part of the earth's crust which underlies the ocean basins. Relatively thin and dense.
Continental Crust		The outermost layer of Earth's lithosphere that makes up the planet's continents and continental shelves.
Pangaea		The formation of new areas of oceanic crust, which occurs through the upwelling of magma at midocean ridges and its subsequent outward movement on either side.
