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.
Precipitation		The process of liquid water changing into water vapor.
Condensation		The process of ice evaporating into gas.
Evaporation		The process where water droplets are too heavy to stay in clouds and fall as rain, sleet, hail or snow.

Required

4

Match the term to the correct definition.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Infiltration		The process of water soaking into the soil and in between rock layers.
Surface Runoff		The process where water flows/runs downhill from land surfaces into rivers and streams and then back to the ocean/
Groundwater		The water stored beneath the surface of the earth.
Floodplain		Floodplain is an area around a waterway that periodically floods with too much water.

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		The washing away of material from the bed or outsides curves of the river or stream.
Permeable		The depositing of materials at the inside curve of a river or stream.

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		The study of the ocean-atmosphere relationship that influences weather and climate, transmission of light and sound through water, and the ocean's interactions with its boundaries at the sea floor and the coast..
Geological Oceanography		Study of the ocean floor and the processes that form its mountains, canyons, and valleys.

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.
Pangaea		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.
Oceanic Crust		The outermost layer of Earth's lithosphere that makes up the planet's continents and continental shelves.
Continental Crust		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.

Required

4

Match the correct term to the definition.

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

Required

4

Match the correct term to the definition.

Draggable item		Corresponding Item
Trench		An underwater mountain range
Continental Shelf		The shallow, submerged edge of the continent.
Abyssal plain		Long but narrow topographic depressions of the sea floor. They are also the deepest parts of the ocean floor.
Mid Ocean Ridge		Broad flat areas of sediment-covered ocean floor found between the continental margins and the mid-ocean ridges

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		Past of the ocean floor above the high tide zone that is regularly splashed, but not submerged by ocean water.

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
Profundal		Open water too deep for rooted plants but has light.
Limnetic		Shallow area with rooted plants and waves – light through to bottom
Littoral		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
