Density PracticeComplete the following density problems using your notes.

1. The symbol (%) means percent, or parts per . A similar symbol (‰) is used to indicate how salty a water sample is. This symbol means parts per .

2. The “salinity” (salt content by weight) of the Atlantic Ocean is about 35‰. Therefore, 1000 grams of this water would consist of grams of water and grams of dissolved salts.

3. What type of solution is the ocean?

4. If the mass of a 50ml volume of water is 300g, what is the density of the water sample?

5. You have a sample of water from the Mediterranean Sea that has a density of 45g/L and its volume is 100L. What is its mass?

6. If the mass of a sea turtle shell is 500g and the volume is 300L, what is the density of the turtle shell?

7. Why does ice float on water?

World Salinity ValuesShade and label the areas in Earth’s oceans that have high and low salinity values. Use your notes!

40°E 80°E 120°E 160°E 6

Temperature ProfilesIn profiles A-C draw a line through each diagram to represent the bottom of the mixed layer and another one to represent the bottom of the thermocline. Next label each profile as ether high latitudes/poles; low latitudes/equator; or mid-latitudes.

Quick-Write: Life on the SeafloorAlthough there is no sunlight at the bottom of the ocean, how does live survive and thrive?Be very specific.

Venn diagram: Continental MarginsCompare and contrast active and passive continental margins using the Venn diagram below. Reminder: The similarities between the two are written in the middle.

Active Margins Passive Margins

Quick-Write: AtollsUsing the diagrams below and your notes, describe what an atoll is and how it forms.

Identifying SedimentsLook at the pictures and label the type of sediment that is present that each would create.

a. shell fragments b. meteorite c. pebbles d. salt

Where do we find different types of sediments?On the world map below use colored pencils to indicate where each type of sediment can be found. Make a key to signify which color stands for which type of sediment.

Shoreline FeaturesLabel On the following diagram, label the following features:

headland, spit, barrier island, lagoon, sea cliff, sea arch, sea stack, beach, bay-mouth bar

What type of continental margin?

Sort Using the t-chart below, categorize the landforms you labeled above as being a result of either erosion or deposition. Then answer the question below.

Erosional Features Depositional Features

How does weathering, erosion, and deposition shape shorelines?

Ocean Currents & UpwellingYou Need: your textbook & colored pencilsDirections:

1. Use p. 532 in your textbook to label the ocean currents listed below. Use a blue colored pencil for cold currents and a red colored pencil for warm currents.

Currents to Label : Labrador, Gulf Stream, California, N. Atlantic, Canary, West Wind Drift, N. Equatorial

2. Draw the Global Conveyor Belt using p. 536 of your book. (you do not need to use color)

3. Read pages 538 and 539 of your textbook and use a green colored pencil to shade or mark areas where coastal upwelling occurs.
