| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Evaporation in the water cycle is most affected by ___________. | the Sun's energy |
| The main source of energy that drives the water cycle comes from ___________ | the Sun |
| Lab partners are designing an experiment that shows the important steps of the water cycle. For their experimental design, which of the following procedures could BEST be used to demonstrate the difference between condensation and evaporation? | To show condensation, the lab partners muct decrease the temperature within the cycle; to show evaporation, they must increase the temperature. |
| A tide with the largest difference between water levels at high and low tides is known as a spring tide. Two spring tides occur in each lunar cycle. This is because a spring tide occurs when the Moon | and the Sun are aligned and pull on Earth. |
| What type of tides have a small vertical range and occur when the Sun and Moon are positioned at a right angle in relation to Earth? | neap tides |
| How often do spring tides occur? | twice every lunar month |
| Which of the following combines with Earth's rotation to create ocean tides? | the Sun and Moon's gravitational pull on water |
| What causes tides on Earth? | the gravitational influence of the Moon and the Sun |
| Why is the timing of tides predictable? | The Moon's orbit around Earth is predictable. |
| What is the primary role of phytoplankton in a marine ecosystem? | Phytoplankton are the primary producers, converting sunlight into chemical energy through photosynthesis. |
| What is the key factor that separates intertidal habitats from subtidal habitats? | Air exposure |
| Coral reefs are often associated with which type of marine organisms? | Benthos |
| Which major factors typically determine day-to-day air exposure for intertidal habitats? | Waves and tides |
| Identify the habitat: large amounts of mud deposited by slow moving water, bacteria live in the mud decaying matter, many clams, crabs, and snails live here | Mud flat |
| Identify the habitat: subjected to the battering of waves and periodic exposure to air, has limpets, sea stars, mussels, and sea urchins, along with seaweed/algae, divided into definite zones based on tide changes | Intertidal |
| Which kingdom do plankton belong to? | Animal Kingdom or Plant Kingdom, depending on whether the plankton is zooplankton or phytoplankton. |
| Which type of organism is capable of actively swimming in the ocean? | Nekton |
| Which of the following is FALSE about Jellyfish? | They all have 8 tentacles hanging from their bell. |
| The phylum name Echinodermata means ____________________. | Spiny skinned |
| The structure in a clam and other mollusks that secretes the shell is called the _________________. | mantle |
| Which of the following can regenerate its intestines after it shoots them out to scare predators? | Sea Cucumber |
| How do sponges obtain nutrients for digestion? | Through filter feeding |
| Lampreys and Hagfish are ________________ | Jawless Fish |
| Fish cannot maintain a constant body temperature and are therefore called: | Ectothermic |
| Fish that bear live young are called: | Viviparous |
| A mass nesting of Kemp’s Ridley turtles along the beaches of Mexico is called a __________________ | Arribada |
| The scales that are found along the upper portion of the turtle’s shell are called ____________. | Scutes |
| Which of the following is FALSE about sea turtles? | There are ten species of turtles |
