True
False
8
Which of the following correctly describes the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Energy can be created but cannot be destroyed.
Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
Energy can be created or destroyed.
Energy cannot be created but can be destroyed.
9
Why are ocean currents so important to the climate?
They change the weather.
They play no role on the climate.

10
What are the three major biogeochemical cycles?
Carbon, Sulfur, Phosphorus
Carbon, Nitrogen, Sulfur
Hydrologic, Carbon, Nitrogen
Carbon, Nitrogen, Potassium
11
Which of the following is when one trait changes over time into different variations?
Parallel Evolution
Convergent Evolution
Divergent Evolution
12
The increase in the Earth’s average temperature is called ______ and it is caused by the accumulation of ______.
Global warming, Ozone
Differential heating, Ozone
Differential heating, Greenhouse gases
Global warming, Greenhouse gases
13
A fish eats food, and then swims. How does this example show the Law of Conservation of Energy?
Chemical energy from food is converted to kinetic energy in the muscle
Thermal energy heats the food and gives the fish energy to move
Kinetic energy from digestion is lost to the surrounding environment
The fish recaptures all of the energy that it lost when it eats
14
Which term means a group of the same species that lives in the same area?
Species
Population
Ecosystem
Habitat
15
What term describes the ocean as a storage location for heat?
Heat Bin
Heat Sink
Heat Vent
Heat Storage
16
What causes tides to occur in the ocean?
Waves
Wind
Gyres
Gravitational pull
17
According to the scientific process, how should a scientific question best be answered?

Reading articles
Surveying others
Conducting experiments
18
What is a collection of matter that has distinct boundaries?
System
Potential Energy
Succession
Food Web
19
If there is
too much
nitrogen in the ocean an algae bloom can occur. Which of the following would happen next?
Ocean acidification which bleaches the coral.
Sea levels rise which causes cities to be underwater.
A red tide which removes all the oxygen and kills the organisms.
Currents stop which causes temperatures to be unstable.
20

24
What property of water results from the high cohesion between water molecules?
High heat capacity
Low density as a solid

25
How can an upwelling affect the ocean water around the coastlines?
Brings cold, nutrient rich water to the ocean surface
Brings warm, nutrient rich water to the ocean floor
Brings cold, oxygen rich water to the ocean floor
Brings warm, oxygen rich water to the ocean surface
26
Shrimp feed on photosynthetic organisms. Why would these organisms likely be found only in shallow ocean zones?
Amount of oxygen in deeper water is too high for shrimp to breathe
Amount of light in deeper water is too dim to support photosynthesis
Fast currents in deeper water would kill photosynthetic organisms
High-water pressure in deeper water would likely prevent photosynthesis
27
What is the largest impact of ocean acidification on marine life?
Increased marine mammal hibernation time
Increased fish predation
Increased coral bleaching
Increased marine bird migration distances
