6SCI U3 L3-L5 - Oceans

Horizontales
A measure of the mass of a substance divided by its volume. In the ocean, this is dependent on temperature and salinity
A measurement of how much time it takes for a wave to pass the fixed point.
The measurement of dissolved salt in seawater.
A disturbance that transfers energy through matter - ocean water.
The deflection of moving objects from a straight path due to Earth's rotation.
A movement of water that results from density differences, and where surface and deep currents are linked. This current transfers energy.
The process by which warm, less-dense surface water is drawn away from along a shore by offshore currents and replaced by cold, denser, nutrient rich water brought up from the deep ocean.
When surface currents meet continents (land), the currents are deflected and change direction.
Streamlike movements in the Ocean.
Measures half the distance between a wave crest and wave trough.
A series of waves that form when a large volume of ocean water is suddenly moved up or down, can be cause by disruptions in waves such as earthquakes and volcanoes.
A long, narrow depression in the deep-ocean basin.
A region of the ocean floor that begins at the end of the continental margin and extends under the deepest parts of the ocean.
Verticales
Technology that is uses sound waves to measure distances.
Movements of ocean water far below the surface, and are caused by differences in water density.
Matter in a state of water, carries energy (or waves) in the ocean called this.
As one of the main regions of the ocean floor, this region is the edge of the continent that is covered by the ocean, and broken into 3 divisions.
The number of waves produced in a given amount of time.
Ocean currents that occur at or near the surface of the oceans that are caused by wind.
A long, undersea mountain chain that forms along the floor of the ocean, and occurs at the boundaries of Earth's tectonic plates. These plates move apart from each other creating a crack, allowing hot magma to move up, cool, then form rock.
Lowest point of a wave.
A layer of water in an ocean or certain lakes, where the temperature gradient is greater than that of the warmer layer above and the colder layer below.
The highest point of a wave.
