Exploring Oceanography: Key Concepts and Questions (Warm-ups 9/9 to 9/13)

This collection of warm-up questions covers essential oceanographic concepts, including the distinctions between continental features, the Earth's magnetic field, and characteristics of water. Topics range from the formation and naming of oceanic structures to the unique properties of water and the measurement of salinity. Each question is designed to promote critical thinking about geological and environmental sciences. Prepare for a quiz incorporating these concepts after reviewing the material. Engage with water properties, plate tectonics, and ocean pressure.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Warm-up 9/9 • What is the difference between a continental slope and a continental rise? • What creates the earth’s magnetic field? • What element is the most abundant in the earth’s crust?

  2. Warm-Up 9/10 • What is the difference between a guyot and a seamount? • Why do the magnetic bands on either side of the mid-Atlantic ridge provide evidence for plate tectonics? • From what does the Pacific ocean derive it name?

  3. Warm-Up 9/11 • What are hydrogen bonds? • What does it mean when we say that water is a “universal solvent”? • What is unusual about the density of water as it decreases in temperature and changes from its liquid form to solid form?

  4. Warm-Up 9/12 • What units will we be using in this course to discuss the salinity of water? • How far below the surface of the water do you have to travel before the pressure of the water is about double that which you experience on dry land? • What causes barotrauma?

  5. Warm-Up 9/13 • What is a swim bladder? • Turbidity is a measurement of what property of water? • Explain the relationship between water temperature and its dissolved gas content. Warm-ups Due Today Quiz after Warm-up Review
