Marine Science Key TermsOnline version Ocean terms quiz by Ravin Read 1 What is Primary productivity? a pH scale-is the common measure of the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. b The amount of organic matter synthesized by organisms from inorganic substances through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis within a given volume of water or habitat in a unit of time. c aphotic zone-is the vast, dark region beneath the photic zone. d photic zone-is the uppermost layer where sunlight penetrates sufficiently to support photosynthesis 2 What is the pH scale? a the common measure of the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution. b Primary productivity- The amount of organic matter synthesized by organisms from inorganic substances through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis within a given volume of water or habitat in a unit of time. c Density-Mass per unit volume of a substance, usually expressed as grams per cubic centimeter d photic zone-is the uppermost layer where sunlight penetrates sufficiently to support photosynthesis 3 What is the photic zone? a Thermocline-A layer of water in which there is a rapid change in temperature in the vertical dimension. b the uppermost layer where sunlight penetrates sufficiently to support photosynthesis c Plankton- Passively drifting or weakly swimming organisms that cannot move independently of ocean currents. d aphotic zone-is the vast, dark region beneath the photic zone. 4 What is the aphotic zone? a Salinity-The proportion of dissolved salts to pure water, usually expressed in parts per thousand (%) b photic zone-is the uppermost layer where sunlight penetrates sufficiently to support photosynthesis c Plankton- Passively drifting or weakly swimming organisms that cannot move independently of ocean currents d the vast, dark region beneath the photic zone. 5 What is Plankton? a Thermocline-A layer of water in which there is a rapid change in temperature in the vertical dimension. b Passively drifting or weakly swimming organisms that cannot move independently of ocean currents. c Density-Mass per unit volume of a substance, usually expressed as grams per cubic centimeter d Rip currents-Concentrated movements of water that flow opposite the direction of breaking waves 6 What is Density? a Mass per unit volume of a substance, usually expressed as grams per cubic centimeter b Thermocline-A layer of water in which there is a rapid change in temperature in the vertical dimension. c Shoreline-The line that marks the contact between land and sea. It migrates up and down as the tide rises and falls. d salinity-The proportion of dissolved salts to pure water, usually expressed in parts per thousand (‰). 7 What is Thermocline? a Density-Mass per unit volume of a substance, usually expressed as grams per cubic centimeter b salinity-The proportion of dissolved salts to pure water, usually expressed in parts per thousand (‰). c Tombolo-A ridge of sand that connects an island to the mainland or to another island. d A layer of water in which there is a rapid change in temperature in the vertical dimension. 8 What is Salinity? a The proportion of dissolved salts to pure water, usually expressed in parts per thousand (‰). b Shoreline-The line that marks the contact between land and sea. It migrates up and down as the tide rises and falls. c Echo Sounders-devices that used sound to measure water depth, d Berms-lat platforms often composed of sand that are adjacent to coastal dunes or cliffs and marked by a change in slope at the seaward edge. 9 What is Shoreline? a The line that marks the contact between land and sea. It migrates up and down as the tide rises and falls. b Wave refraction-The process by which the portion of a wave in shallow water slows, causing the wave to bend and then to align itself with the underwater contours. c Berms-lat platforms often composed of sand that are adjacent to coastal dunes or cliffs and marked by a change in slope at the seaward edge. d Rip currents-Concentrated movements of water that flow opposite the direction of breaking waves 10 What are Berms? a lat platforms often composed of sand that are adjacent to coastal dunes or cliffs and marked by a change in slope at the seaward edge. b Echo Sounders-devices that used sound to measure water depth, c Continental Shelf-The gently sloping submerged portion of the continental margin, extending from the shoreline to the continental slope. d Shoreline-The line that marks the contact between land and sea. It migrates up and down as the tide rises and falls. 11 What is Wave refraction? a Continental Shelf-The gently sloping submerged portion of the continental margin, extending from the shoreline to the continental slope. b The process by which the portion of a wave in shallow water slows, causing the wave to bend and then to align itself with the underwater contours. c Rip currents-Concentrated movements of water that flow opposite the direction of breaking waves d Tombolo-A ridge of sand that connects an island to the mainland or to another island. 12 What are Rip currents? a Echo Sounders-devices that used sound to measure water depth, b Continental Shelf-The gently sloping submerged portion of the continental margin, extending from the shoreline to the continental slope. c Concentrated movements of water that flow opposite the direction of breaking waves d Tombolo-A ridge of sand that connects an island to the mainland or to another island. 13 What is Tombolo? a Continental Shelf-The gently sloping submerged portion of the continental margin, extending from the shoreline to the continental slope. b A ridge of sand that connects an island to the mainland or to another island. c Wave refraction-The process by which the portion of a wave in shallow water slows, causing the wave to bend and then to align itself with the underwater contours. d Echo Sounders-devices that used sound to measure water depth, 14 What are Echo Sounders? a Tombolo-A ridge of sand that connects an island to the mainland or to another island. b devices that used sound to measure water depth, c Continental Shelf-The gently sloping submerged portion of the continental margin, extending from the shoreline to the continental slope. d Shoreline-The line that marks the contact between land and sea. It migrates up and down as the tide rises and falls. 15 What is the Continental Shelf? a The gently sloping submerged portion of the continental margin, extending from the shoreline to the continental slope. b Echo Sounders-devices that used sound to measure water depth, c Shoreline-The line that marks the contact between land and sea. It migrates up and down as the tide rises and falls. d Tombolo-A ridge of sand that connects an island to the mainland or to another island.
