What is Hypothesis
|
Tentative explanation of an observed natural phenomenon
|
|
|
Emerita Analoga
|
- Females are slightly bigger than males
- They live buried in the sand in the surf zone facing toward the beach - eat small organisms and tiny particles of plant material by uncoiling heir feather like second antennae |
|
|
Trenches
|
deep depressions, which are found at plate boundaries.
|
|
|
spreading centers
|
the theory of plate tectonics states that the earths crust and underlying lithosphere are made up of dozen or more rigid plates, which grow outward from large cracks in the ocean floor
|
|
|
Subduction
|
the downward movement of the oceanic lithosphere of one plate under another plate
|
|
|
Ocean
|
A very large expanse of sea, in particular, each of the main areas into which the sea is divided geograpically
|
|
|
Sea
|
The expanse of salt water that covers most of the earths surface and surrounds its landmass
|
|

Boiling point
|
is the temperature at which the vapor pressure of the liquid exceeds th opposing pressure of the atmosphere
( 100* Celsius) |
|
|
Salt Water
|
Higher Boiling Point : faster than freshwater
Higher freezing point : faster than freshwater Greater Density More Viscous |
|
|
Density
|
a material defined as its mass per unit volume (grams/ml)
|
|
|
What are the consequences of this difference in density between fresh water and salt water in places where rivers enter into the ocean
|
fresh river water floats on top of the ocean water
|
|
|
Viscosity
|
a measure od resistance to fluid flow
|
|
|
pH/Ocean Acidification
|
pH scale range from 0 to 14
A solution less than 7 is acidic A solution greater than 7 is basic or alkaline |
