Water Properties & Ocean Technology100 Points
QUESTION:Why is it important to study the ocean?
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:The ocean covers the majority of the planet
and is an unknown and untapped source of resources and interesting phenomena.
Water Properties & Ocean Technology200 Points
QUESTION:What is density?
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Density = Mass/VolumeHow much “stuff” is in a certain amount of
space.
Water Properties & Ocean Technology300 Points
QUESTION:What does AUV stand for?
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
Water Properties & Ocean Technology400 Points
QUESTION:Name three ways we explore the ocean?
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:ROVs, AUVs, free diving, SCUBA diving,
diving bells, submarines, submersibles, satellites.
Water Properties & Ocean Technology500 Points
QUESTION:Why do we need so many different pieces of
technology to study the ocean?
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Each piece of technology gives us a different
view of the ocean and its various aspects. Some are more appropriate or affordable in different situations.
Oil Spill Response Equipment100 Points
QUESTION:What are two types of equipment used to trap
and clean up an oil spill?
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:BoomSkimmerAbsorbent Pad
Oil Spill Response Equipment200 Points
QUESTION:Which is more dense, oil or water?
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Water
Oil Spill Response Equipment300 Points
QUESTION:Describe how an oil mousse is created.
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Oil is emulsified and mixed with water due to
wind and wave action.
Oil Spill Response Equipment400 Points
QUESTION:Name two seasonal effects of an oil spill in the
spring.
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Deformed or dead herring eggs, deaths of
vulnerable salmon fry, disruption of bird migrations, loss of food for birds and fish.
Oil Spill Response Equipment500 Points
QUESTION:What are some special problems with an oil
spill on a rocky coast? What is a possible strategy for clean-up?
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:The oil could sink between the rocks making
it harder to clean up. Rocky coastlines are often hard to get to, hindering cleanup efforts.
Absorbent pads.
Arctic Ecosystems100 Points
QUESTION:Give one definition of the Arctic.
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Area north of the Arctic Circle.Area north of the tree lineArea where the average daily summer
temperature does not get above 10C
Arctic Ecosystems200 Points
QUESTION:Name the two major lifestyles of native Arctic
people.
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Marine and Terrestrial
Arctic Ecosystems300 Points
QUESTION:Name one plant and one animal that lives in the
Arctic..
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Plants: Reindeer lichen, wooly lousewort, Arctic
poppy, purple saxifrage, Arctic willow, orange lichen, bearberry, pasque flower, cotton grass, mountain sorrel.
Animals: Snowy owl, polar bear, tundra swan, Arctic hare, beluga whale,musk ox, caribou, reindeer, lemming, Arctic fox, walrus, tufted puffin, snow goose, Arctic tern.
Arctic Ecosystems400 Points
QUESTION:Name two adaptation strategies that animals
use to survive in the Arctic.
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Migration, hibernation, physical traits (color
change, layers of feathers or hair, wide feet or “snowshoes”, etc.)
Arctic Ecosystems500 Points
QUESTION:Name one adaptation Arctic plants have that
all0ws them to survive.
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Growing small, close together, close to the
ground.Shallow root systems, ability to grow quickly
in low temperatures, ability to spread vegetatively (without seeds)
Climate Change and Oil in the Arctic
100 PointsQUESTION:Name two characteristics of climate change.
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Rising temperatures, changes in weather,
warm acidic oceans, melting ice caps, rising sea levels, retreating glaciers
Climate Change and Oil in the Arctic
200 PointsQUESTION:Name two different kinds of sea ice.
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Fast IcePack IceOld IceFirst-year Ice
Climate Change and Oil in the Arctic
300 PointsQUESTION:Explain the albedo effect.
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Light surfaces such as snow and ice reflect more
sunlight, while dark surfaces like open water absorb sunlight. As the ocean absorbs more heat, it warms up, causing more ice to melt, which means there is more surface area where sunlight is being absorbed.
Climate Change and Oil in the Arctic
400 PointsQUESTION:How does retreating sea ice affect black
guillemots?
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:As sea ice retreats farther from land,
guillemots have to travel greater distances to feed their chicks, so they can’t bring as much food back. At some point, they won’t be able to get enough food to keep their chicks alive and will have to find another food source
Climate Change and Oil in the Arctic
500 PointsQUESTION:Name two reasons why an oil spill in the Arctic
could be particularly devastating.
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Environmentally sensitive region, top
predators congregate, food web dependent on plankton blooms, short productive season
ROVs100 Points
QUESTION:What does “ROV” stand for?
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Remotely Operated Vehicle
ROVs200 Points
QUESTION:How do we operate ROVs?
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Using a controller and tether attached to the
machine.
ROVs300 Points
QUESTION:How can ROVs help us in the arctic?
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Explore the harsh/dark environment, clean
up oil spills, access areas under the ice.
ROVs400 Points
QUESTION:Name two things to consider when designing
an ROV.
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:Even distribution of weight, motor
placement, distribution of floatation relative to weight, what tasks the ROV needs to accomplish.
ROVs500 Points
QUESTION:What three properties of water are important
to understand when designing an ROV?
www.pwssc.org
ANSWER:DensityBuoyancyPressure
