Another motion of surface water are ocean currents. Ocean currents are like rivers of water moving through other seawater. These can also be caused by prevailing winds. The worldwide prevailing winds causing great circular moving water in the ocean called gyres. Another type of current is caused by the waves washing up on the shore at an angle, but the water then running back down the shore in a straight line. So you have this process of water going up onto the shore at an angle and then straight back down the face of the shore. Resulting in the water moving along the shore in a zig-zag pattern. As this is repeated thousands of times a day, the effect is a current (movement of water) is formed that moves parallel to the shoreline. This current is called a longshore current. There is another current that runs along the coast of California called the California current. An amazing animal travels along this current during its annual migration. In the fall, this animal travels from its…

- The majority of the water found on Earth is: a. ice b. water vapor c. fresh water d. salt waterarrow_forwardWhich of the following effects is produced by the high surface tension of water? Group of answer choices Organisms resist temperature changes, although they give off heat due to chemical reactions. Evaporation of sweat from the skin helps to keep people from overheating Lakes don't freeze solid in winter, despite low temperatures. A layer of strongly bonded water molecules occurs at the air-water interface Water flows upward from the roots to the leaves in plants.arrow_forwardWater is less dense as a solid than as a liquid. How does this property typically affect a lake ecosystem in freezing temperatures? O When the lake is frozen, fish still have access to liquid water for oxygen and swimming as well as access to food on the bottom of the lake O When the lake is frozen, fish still have access to liquid water for oxygen and swimming but no longer have access to food on the bottom of the lake. O When the lake is frozen, fish no longer have access to liquid water for oxygen and swimmng but do have access to food on the bottom of the lake.

- Starting with a drop of water in the ocean, describe a full cycle of movement of the water drop through the hydrologic cycle (the water must end up back in the ocean). Through what reservoirs does that water move? What physical forms does the water take (e.g., liquid, solid, gasarrow_forwardHow does water stabilize global temperatures? in your own words pleasearrow_forwardWhat must happen in order for water in the ocean to become water vapor in the atmosphere? water near the ocean surface must release heat energy to condense into water vapor water near the ocean surface must react with carbon dioxide to form water vapor water near the ocean surface must warm up enough to evaporate into water vapor water near the ocean surface must cool down enough to evaporate into water vaporarrow_forward
- Deserts are commonly found around the world at 30 degrees latitude north and south of the equator. Why are these areas so dry? Group of answer choices -there is no ocean at these latitudes -Cool dry air sinks to the ground at these latitudes -rain shadows -the sun is usually directly overheadarrow_forwardListen Which of the following occurs due to water's high surface tension? Sweat can evaporate from the skin, helping to keep people from overheating. Organisms can resist temperature changes. A raft spider can walk across the surface of a small pond. CLakes cannot freeze solid in winter, despite low temperatures.arrow_forward1. What causes ocean warming and acidification? It is caused mainly by carbon dioxide and many marine organisms that produce carbonate shells 2. Why are human activities that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere causing concern? Type answer here. 3. How does the water chemistry charlge as carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in the ocean? Type answer here. 4. What will happen if man continues to release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere? Type answer here. 5. What are two economic risks of ocean acidification? Type answer here. 6.
