Oceans 100 Lab Practical 1 Exam Questions and Answers
Latitude? - -- From North to South
- Includes equator
- Like moving up latter
-Longitude? - -- From East to West
- Includes Prime Meridian
-Prime Meridian? - -- Goes thorough Greenwich, England
- Longitudinal line @ 0 degrees
-Equator? - -- latitudinal line @ 0 degrees
-International Date Line? - -- Longitudinal line opposite of the Prime Meridian
- 180 degrees
-Red Sea? - -
-Himalaya Mtns? - -- Convergent boundary
-Andes Mtns? - -
-Latitude/Longitude Conversions? (degrees, minutes, seconds -> decimals) - -- 60 secs = 1
minute
- 60 minutes = 1 Degree
-Convert distances, mass, volumes, ect. with given conversions? - -
-Plate techtonics? - -- A theory explaining the structure of earth's crust and many
associated phenomena as resulting from the interaction of rigid lithospheric plates that
move slowly over the underlying mantle
-Hot Spot? - -- Rising plumes of asthenosphere melt through the overlying lithosphere and
erupt as magma on the ocean floor.
-Mid-Ocean Ridge? - -
-Thermocline? - -- A thin layer in water where temperature changes more rapidly with
depth than it does in the layers above or below.
-Mixed Layer? - -- Active turbulence has homogenized some range of depths. density same
as the surface... results in increase of salinity.
-Identify types of plate boundaries and types of crusts at the locations in labs? - -
