Oceanography

Front 1

Convergent

Back 1

This is the most common kind of motion at subduction zones. This motion happens where dense oceanic plates collide and slide beneath continental plates.

Front 2

Transform

Back 2

A good example of this type of motion is the San Andreas Fault which runs through California. one of the plates moves forward and the other one moves backwards this is what happen in a transform plate

Front 3

Divergent

Back 3

: This is the most common kind of motion along the mid-ocean ridges. This is a system of undersea mountain ranges that extends beneath the world's oceans. plates move away from each other

Front 4

Crust

Back 4

The Earth's Crust is like the skin of an apple. It is very thin in comparison to the other three layers. The crust is only about 3-5 miles (8 kilometers) thick under the oceans(oceanic crust) and about 25 miles (32 kilometers) thick under the continents (continental crust

Front 5

Mantle

Back 5

The mantle is composed of very hot, dense rock. This layer of rock even flows like asphalt under a heavy weight. This flow is due to great temperature differences from the bottom to the top of the mantle. The movement of the mantle is the reason that the plates of the Earth move

Front 6

core

Back 6

The outer core is so hot that the metals in it are all in the liquid state.

The inner core of the Earth has temperatures and pressures so great that the metals are squeezed together and are not able to move about like a liquid,

Front 7

black smokers

Back 7

Made of iron and sulfur, black color and are hoter, more in the sea

Front 8

white smokers

Back 8

made of calcium,white color, colder and less in the sea

Front 9

liqhtzone Adaptations

Back 9

counter shading and size

Front 10

twilight Adaptations

Back 10

larger eyes and flexible bodyes

Front 11

midnight Adaptations

Back 11

bioluminescence and jelly bodys

Front 12

Chemosynthesis

Back 12

the synthesis of organic compounds within an organism, with chemical reactions providing the energy source

Front 13

Photosynthesis

Back 13

the synthesis of complex organic materials, esp. carbohydrates, from carbon dioxide, water, and inorganic salts, using sunlight as the source of energy and with the aid of chlorophyll and associated pigments.
