What is the structure of Water?
H2O, two parts hydrogen, one part
oxygen.
Hydrogen and Oxygen give Water a polar
nature. How?
Hydrogen has a +1 charge.Oxygen has a -2 charge.
What are 3 special properties of water?
Surface TensionCapillary Action
Specific Heat
Explain what Specific Heat means
Specific Heat: amount of energy needed to increase
temperature by 1⁰C

Final Jeopardy
Define 3 parts / characteristics of a wave.
1. Crest: highest point2. Trough: lowest point3. Wavelength: distance between 2
crests / troughs4. Wave Height: distance from
crest to trough5. Frequency: number of waves
during a certain interval of time
What causes tides, and how often do tides occur?
The gravity of the Moon & Sun cause tides. Tides occur every 12½ hours.
What are Spring & Neap tides, and when do they occur?
Spring tide is the greatest difference between high & low tide. Neap tide is the
smallest difference.
Waves do not move water forward. Explain why,
and what happens when waves reach the shore.
Wind energy is transferred through the water. Near the shore, wave
height increases as length decreases, causing wave to break.

Final Jeopardy
Two natural disasters we have studied this chapter are...
Tsunamis and El Nino
What causes a Tsunami and where does it occur?
An earthquake in the ocean floor.
What is Upwelling and how does El Nino affect it?
Upwelling is when warm water is pushed away by wind and cold
water rises. El Nino brings more warm water, preventing upwelling.
What is a Tsunami like in the open ocean compared to as it reaches shore? What causes
this difference?
In the open ocean, tsunamis have a small wave height, but massive wavelength. On shore, the length rapidly decreases from
friction, causing the height to spike.

Final Jeopardy
What are the 2 types of currents?
Surface currents and Deep currents.
What causes a surface current? What is the
strongest surface current in the N. Atlantic Ocean?
Surface currents are driven by wind. The Gulf Stream.
What kind of currents affect climate and how?
Surface currents heat or cool air above them, affecting weather of
land nearby.
What is the Coriolis Effect?
The rotation of the Earth causing the path of winds
and waves to curve in relation to Earth’s surface.

Final Jeopardy
What do we mean by water “cycle?”
Water moves from bodies of water, land and living things to the atmosphere
and then back.
What are the 3 “steps” or phases of the water cycle?
Evaporation, Condensation and
Precipitation.
What living things give off the most water? What
is this called?
Plants release water through Transpiration.
Explain how a cloud forms.
Water vapor is carried to the colder upper atmosphere. It
condenses on tiny dust particles in the air.

What 4 properties of ocean water change with depth and how do they change as you go deeper?
603010
STOP
As depth increases…1. Temperature decreases2. Salinity increases3. Density increases (salty & cold)4. Pressure increases
