AICE MARINE SCIENCE FINAL PAPER
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS FULL
REVIEW RESOURCE

●● Deposition/Sedimentation
Answer: the dropping/depositing/accumulating of rock/particles by
waves/wind


●● Plate Tectonic Theory
Answer: -Earth's crust/lithosphere is made of plates
-Continents lie on plates
-Plates are moving slowing on top of asthenosphere
-Plates move do to convection currents in the asthenosphere
-Plates meet at boundaries; convergent divergent and transform
-Plate movement causes earthquakes, mountain building, and volcanic
eruptions


●● Divergent Boundary
Answer: two plates moving apart from one another


●● Convergent Boundary

, Answer: where two (or more) tectonic plates or fragments of the
lithosphere move toward one another and collide, one forming on top of
the other.


●● Transform Boundary
Answer: two or more plates sliding past each other


●● Littoral Zone
Answer: Area between high and low water mark/areas submerged at
high tide and exposed at low tides


●● Rocky Shore
Answer: -Cold temperature
-Erosional
-pebble substrate
-snail (attach) crab (hide/camo) bacteria (burrow)


●● Muddy Shore
Answer: -Flat slope
-Depositional
-Sand/clay substrate
-bacteria, worms (burrow) algae (attach)
