2/24/12 A/B DayLEQ: How do we classify marine, or ocean organisms that live in the hydrosphere?
1. What is polarity?2. What is cohesion?3. What is adhesion?4. Give one example of cohesion.5. Give one example of adhesion.
Today’s LEQ: How do we classify marine, or ocean organisms that live in the hydrosphere?
By the end of today, you should be able to…
1. Compare and contrast saltwater and freshwater
2. Identify the three different types of organisms that live in marine environments
3. Classify organisms as benthos, plankton, or nekton
Focus Vocabulary
112. Salinity113. Hydrosphere114. Benthos115. Plankton116. Nekton
Compare and contrast:
Draw this in your notes:Saltwater Freshwater
Unscramble!• Example: Pacific Ocean• Used for drinking and irrigation (watering
crops)• 97% of earth’s total water• Example: icebergs, glaciers, rivers, lakes,
snow• has salinity (salt is dissolved into it)• Covers 71% of earth’s surface• Only 3% of earth’s total water
Salt Water:
• 97% of earth’s total water• has salinity (salt is dissolved
into it)• Covers 71% of earth’s surface• Example: Pacific Ocean
Freshwater:
• Only 3% of earth’s total water• Used for drinking and
irrigation (watering crops)• Example: icebergs, glaciers,
rivers, lakes, snow
BOTH:
• Make up the
hydrosphere!

Let’s Review!
Which of the following lists the layers of the earth, in order from MOST DENSE to LEAST DENSE?
a. inner core, outer core, mantle, crustb. crust, mantle, inner core, outer corec. outer core, inner core, mantle, crustd. inner core, outer core, crust, mantle
The best evidence that two land masses were once connected is the discovery that both land masses…
a. have the exact same climateb. exist on the same line of latitudec. have similar types of rocks and fossilsd. are in the same stage of the rock cycle
Which of the following statements provides the best explanation for why Greenland, which is in the arctic, has fossils of tropical plants?
a. Greenland was once located near the equator and had a tropical climateb. plants carried seeds from the tropics to Greenlandc. Earth was once entirely tropicald. the fossils were carried to Greenland by ocean convection currents
A plant fossil is found on the eastern coast of Brazil. An identical fossil from the same time period is found in western Africa. What is used to explain this?
a. seeds from plants were carried by marine lifeb. very few plants existed in the time periodc. plant fossils are too similar to tell one species from the otherd. the land areas from which the fossils came have moved apart over time
Which of the following best describes the theory of continental drift?
a. Pangaea makes oceans seem larger than they areb. Pangaea will exist at some time in the futurec. Pangaea broke apart due to convection currentsd. Pangaea never existed
What is happening in this diagram?
a. Pangaeab. core movementc. convection currentsd. continental theory
This diagram represents which of the following?
a) Subduction boundaryb) Convergent boundaryc) Divergent boundaryd) Transform boundary
Mountain ranges, like the Himalayas for example, are formed by which kind of plate boundary?
a) Subduction boundaryb) Convergent boundaryc) Divergent boundaryd) Transform boundary
Off the coast of South America, a plate of dense oceanic crust collides with a plate of less dense continental crust. What happens at the boundary of these plates?
a) The oceanic crust is forced to sink below the continental crustb) The continental crust is forced to sink below the ocean crustc) The oceanic and continental crust both sink below the lithosphered) The oceanic and continental crust are forced up to form mountains
