What is Wind Deposition?
when the wind stops, it drops its load
![Page 3: Agents of Erosion & Deposition Ch. 11. What is Wind Deposition? when the wind stops, it drops its load](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012918/56649e605503460f94b5ab10/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What are Dunes? mounds of wind blown sand
•form where soil is dry and unprotected and the wind is strong
![Page 4: Agents of Erosion & Deposition Ch. 11. What is Wind Deposition? when the wind stops, it drops its load](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012918/56649e605503460f94b5ab10/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
How do dunes form?
when a barrier slows the speed of the wind, it causes sand to accumulate on the sheltered side, sand accumulates on exposed side, and eventually buries the barrier

Protective Structures
• Groins, breakwaters, and seawalls are some structures built to protect a coast from erosion or to prevent the movement of sand along a beach.
Beach Nourishment• Beach nourishment is the addition of
large quantities of sand to the beach system.

Bathymetry is the measurement of ocean depths and the charting of the shape or topography of the ocean floor.
Today’s technology allows scientists to study the ocean floor in a more efficient and precise manner than ever before.

Temperature of Ocean Water
•Ocean water has ability to
absorb sunlight
which heats the water
![Page 125: Agents of Erosion & Deposition Ch. 11. What is Wind Deposition? when the wind stops, it drops its load](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012918/56649e605503460f94b5ab10/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)

Surface zone (mixed layer):
• Water temp higher at surface because of direct sunlight
• Waves and currents mix surface water and transfers heat downwards
• Extends 100-400 meters• Warmer at equator than at poles• Only place where enough light is
present to grow marine plants

Variations in Ocean Surface Temperature
![Page 133: Agents of Erosion & Deposition Ch. 11. What is Wind Deposition? when the wind stops, it drops its load](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012918/56649e605503460f94b5ab10/html5/thumbnails/133.jpg)
Density of Ocean Water:
•Density is the mass of a substance per unit volume
![Page 134: Agents of Erosion & Deposition Ch. 11. What is Wind Deposition? when the wind stops, it drops its load](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012918/56649e605503460f94b5ab10/html5/thumbnails/134.jpg)
Two factors affect density
1. Salinity - Dissolved solids make ocean
water more dense than fresh water
2. Temperature- Cold water is more dense
than warm water
![Page 135: Agents of Erosion & Deposition Ch. 11. What is Wind Deposition? when the wind stops, it drops its load](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012918/56649e605503460f94b5ab10/html5/thumbnails/135.jpg)
Most abundant gases dissolved in ocean water:
•Nitrogen (N2)
•Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
•Oxygen (O2)
![Page 136: Agents of Erosion & Deposition Ch. 11. What is Wind Deposition? when the wind stops, it drops its load](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012918/56649e605503460f94b5ab10/html5/thumbnails/136.jpg)
• CO2 dissolves most easily
• Cold water holds more dissolved gases• Warm water holds less dissolved gases
• Think of a pot of water on the stove – what is coming out as the temperature rises???
• GASES! (oxygen)• The warmer the water, the less gas it
holds!

•The dissolved gases are recycled back into the air
•The dissolved solids do not leave, they are used by living things in the sea.

COLOR of the Ocean
•The color of the ocean is determined by the way it absorbs or reflects sunlight. Much of the sunlight penetrates the surface of the ocean and is absorbed by the water.
![Page 139: Agents of Erosion & Deposition Ch. 11. What is Wind Deposition? when the wind stops, it drops its load](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012918/56649e605503460f94b5ab10/html5/thumbnails/139.jpg)
Blue wavelengths of light are the last color
to be absorbed
![Page 140: Agents of Erosion & Deposition Ch. 11. What is Wind Deposition? when the wind stops, it drops its load](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012918/56649e605503460f94b5ab10/html5/thumbnails/140.jpg)
COLOR of the Ocean
•In clear ocean water, blue light can penetrate up to 100 m before being absorbed. Until it is absorbed, it is reflected and makes the upper layers of ocean water appear BLUE.

• At times it will look like other colors depending on what particles are in the water (ex. rocks, animals, etc.)
• No wavelength of light can penetrate beyond 200 meters, so beyond that
it is DARK.

First kind of current:
1.Surface currents: move on or near surface of ocean• Friction between wind blown air
and the water surface causes the water to move
• Controlled by wind belts, earth’s rotational effect and location of continents

Surface Circulation Ocean Currents and Climate
• When currents from low-latitude regions move into higher latitudes, they transfer heat from warmer to cooler areas on Earth.
• As cold water currents travel toward the equator, they help moderate the warm temperatures of adjacent land areas.
![Page 176: Agents of Erosion & Deposition Ch. 11. What is Wind Deposition? when the wind stops, it drops its load](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012918/56649e605503460f94b5ab10/html5/thumbnails/176.jpg)
Upwelling
• the rise of cold water from deeper layers to replace warmer surface water.
• brings greater concentrations of dissolved nutrients, such as nitrates and phosphates, to the ocean surface.

Second kind of current:
2. Deep density currents: cold, dense currents that flow very slowly beneath surface of ocean• occurs when denser
seawater moves towards an area of less dense seawater
![Page 181: Agents of Erosion & Deposition Ch. 11. What is Wind Deposition? when the wind stops, it drops its load](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012918/56649e605503460f94b5ab10/html5/thumbnails/181.jpg)
• In the deep ocean, denser water around the Poles sinks and travels along the ocean floor toward the equator.
• At the same time, less dense water at the equator rises and moves towards the poles along the surface.
• These two events form a continuous cycle that circulate ocean water.

• As waves approach shore, the water is so shallow that they touch bottom. This happens at a depth of one-half the wavelength. As the wave scrapes bottom, the lower part of wave slows down and upper par moves ahead. The crest falls over and breaks onto the beach.

What To Do if Caught in a Rip Current What should you do if you are caught in a rip current?
First, REMAIN CALM! Signal to someone on the beach, a lifeguard or a friend, that you need help. If
you are a strong swimmer, try to swim parallel to the beach until you are out of the rip current. Then swim
toward the shore. Never try to swim back to shore directly against the Rip current, as this can exhaust and drown even the strongest swimmer. For the less confident swimmers, wade sideways parallel to the beach until you are out of the Rip’s pull, then swim
back to shore.
