Ocean Final Flashcards
What Energy moves plates
Why
Heat
Pressure, radio active decay
Evolution theory of plate tectonics
Land masses fit together
Half life
1/2 1/4 1/8
Types of crust
Oceanic crust heavy salt
Continental crust
Hudson canyon formed from
Tribity currents
Baretric satellite
Measures water depth
Trinity current
Water mixed with sediments
downhill erosion
Level sediments pile up
Catmendue
2 plates clash but one doesn’t rise so no volcano
Dramatic change to shoreline
Sedimentary rock gets compressed
Buoyancy
G d b^
Amount water displaced
Why mid ocean acidic
Cold dissolves gasses
More c02
Pressure holds co2 down
Decay
What’s temp
Avg kinetic energy
Energy needed to change water
1cal/1g*c
Latent heat
Solid -liq 80cal
Liq-gas 540cal
Polar
Solid bonds
Why is h20 a good solid
Neutral acidity
What causes sea breeze
Dif water temps
Monsoon
Larger land scale
Temp depends how much
Water can be held
