answer

The accompanying image depicts the three states of water and the processes by which water changes from one state to another. Use this information to match the correct state to each of the statements below.

question

45 grams

answer

Examine the accompanying table. Can you calculate how much less water is contained in saturated air at a polar location with a temperature of -10°C when compared to a tropical location with a temperature of 40°C?

question

Calorie

answer

The amount of energy that is necessary to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree C is the definition of:

question

change in state.

answer

Latent heat is the quantity of heat gained or lost as a substance undergoes a:

question

It remains constant until the ice melts, and then it begins to rise.

answer

A beaker contains a mixture of ice and pure liquid water at 0oC. What happens to the temperature of the liquid water as heat is added?

question

*When water vapor condenses and forms a liquid, its latent heat of condensation releases heat to the environment; this is what powers hurricanes. *In the vapor state, there are no weak (hydrogen) bonds between water molecules. *In the solid state, all water molecules are connected by weak (hydrogen) bonds. *Latent heat allows water to transfer energy from one place to another. *When water evaporates, its latent heat of evaporation absorbs heat.

answer

Of the following statements about water's latent heat and changes in state, which is/are true?

question

3.5%

answer

answer

All the following processes decrease seawater salinity except :

question

answer

Of the following processes, which INCREASES the salinity of seawater?

question

*increased salinity *Decreased salinity *just east of the Bahamas *Off the west coast of Africa *From the Red Sea *From the Baltic Sea

answer

Can you determine where each was sampled from based on salinity? Label the samples accordingly. Also, note the two locations for seasonal sea ice melt and seawater freezing and label those for salinity.

question

550 meters

answer

Imagine you are swimming in the open ocean at a location near the equator. Based on the following data, can you determine how deep you would need to dive to reach a water temperature of 19°C?

question

HCO3-.

answer

The ion in sea water that serves as a buffer is:

question

slightly basic (or alkaline)

answer

The pH of surface seawater usually has a value of around 8.0. That means the water is __________.

question

decrease in salinity with depth

answer

In regions with low rates of precipitation and high rates of evaporation, the halocline will __________.

question

halocline

answer

layer of the ocean that experiences a rapid change in salinity with depth

question

evaporation is much greater than precipitation

answer

We would expect the salinity of surface waters to be higher in regions where __________.

question

*There is a thermocline in low latitudes. *There is a halocline in low latitudes. *There is a halocline in high latitudes. *There is a pycnocline in low latitudes.

answer

Of the following statements about seawater properties in high and low latitudes, which is/are true?

question

thermocline

answer

A rapid change in ocean temperature with a change in depth occurs in the:

question

Left: water temperature Top: Density, Temperature Right: Thermocline, water reaches Middle: Inversely related

answer

Review the graph. The y axis shows ocean depth at a location near the equator. Can you label the two curves correctly for ocean water temperature and density variation with depth? Label the other features on the graph.

question

*The sample analysis shows there is no pycnocline present. *This sample must have been taken from a location in the ocean at high latitude. *The temperature of the water column must be constant throughout its depth

answer

Imagine a researcher aboard an oceanographic vessel collects a sample from the water column, extending from the surface to 3000 meters deep. Analysis of the sample shows it is isopycnal. Which of the following statements correctly define what this means and why?

question

*expands, decrease

answer

Water ______ when it is heated, making the density______.

question

isothermal

answer

Water that is _____ will be represented by a straight line for temperature on a graph showing variation with depth.

question

Low latitudes

answer

The sun penetrates surface waters enough at _____ to create a thermocline.

question

isophcnal

answer

You would expect the water column to be ______ for density at high latitudeds

question

increase

answer

In lower latitudes where a themocline exists, as we drop down from the surface through ocean water, water density will ______ while water temperature will be inversely proportional

question

barrier

answer

Both the thermocline and pycnocline present a _____ to mixing between surface and the surface water below

question

solar humidification

answer

Which method of desalination is the most cost effective but least efficient?

question
