280
halocline =
rapid salinity increase with depth.
281
what usually has same depth
halocline and thermocline
282
review surface zone (mixed layer)
upper layer. constant temp & salinity because of wind and waves low density & warm water surface zone = -2% of ocean volume. surface zone to 1k meters deep
283
Pycnocline (stronggg slope)
density increases with depth separates surface water from deep water 18% volume of oceans
284
rapid drop in temperature with depth =
thermocline: controls drop in density
285
review deep zone
below 1k m. @ mid latittudes little change in density with depth very cold, stable water
286
layers =
distinct water masses
287
distinct water masses =
characteristic temperature salinity , density
288
according to density, what does layering do
traps dense cold water in deep separated from warm surface waters by pycnocline
289
Thermoclines vary according to...
latitude
290
tropical & temperate waters have..
warm surface layer underlain by thermocline
291
polar waters have no thermocline because....
surface waters arent warmed by sun
292
water below thermocline =
very cold, -1 degrees celsius to 3 degrees celsius
293
what is photic zone:
zone of light, plants = photosynthesis
294
what is aphotic zone
zone of darkness ,no plants, no photosynthesis
295
why does clear ocean water appear blue?
blue light travels far enough through water to be scattered back to surface to our eyes.
296
why cant we see red underwater
red light absorbed
297
what happens to light as it gets deeper
light becomes dimmer and bluer with depth because red, yellow, orange wave lengths absorbed
298
is sound faster in the air or in the ocean?
sound is faster in the ocean
299
is sound fast in the air?
sound is slow in air compared to ocean
300
is light faster in the air or ocean?
air
301
is light slow in the air or ocean?
slower in the ocean

309
what is the freezing point of sea water
- 1.91 degrees celsius, or 286 degrees farenheit
310
what is the boiling point of pure water
100 degrees celcisus, 212 degrees farenheit
311
what is the boiling point of seawater
100 degrees celsius or 212 degrees farenheit jussst more slowly
312
true or false??? the water molecule is polarized because it has a plus end and a minus end caused by the angular distribution of the oxygen atoms around the central hydrogen atom
FALSEEE
313
when water molecules dissolve a salt crystal, the negative hydrogens surround the chlorin ion
false
314
sodium and chlorine have a long residence time in the ocean of about 100 thousand years
false
315
mixing time in the oceans is about a thousand years
turew
316
if an acid is added to sea water, the reaction moves upward to remove hydrogen ions becoming more basic
true
317
average pH of seawater is.... 7.0???
False
318
sound travels much faster in the ocean in comparison to the air???? t or f
TRUW
319
amount of heat required to raise 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree celsisus =

321
540 cal/gm is the value for what?
heat capacity @ 100 degrees celsius , known as the latent heat of evaportaion
322
t or f the latent heat of evaporation is the heat energy required to change liquid water to a gas, involving the breaking of hydrogen bonds
true
323
t or f the latent heat of fusion is the heat energy that must be added to liquid water to form ice
true
324
the value for the latent heat of melting of water at the freezing point is 80 cal/ gm
truuuu
325
t or f, the latent heat of fusion of water is greater than that of the latent heat of evaporation because we are only rearranging the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules
falseee
326
t or f , the density of water decreases when it changes from ice to liquied
truew
327
t or f, the heat capacity of water is very high at 100 degrees celsius , this is why it boils so quickly
true
328
seawater at 35% has a higher freezing temperature in comparison to pure water
true
329
t or f rivers bring sodium into the oceans and chlorine is supplied by rainwater
FALSE
