What happens to persure as you descend into the ocean?
Pressure increases as the mass of water on top of you increases the further down you go.
Why does an island in the middle of the ocean have temperatures don't change greatly?
Its surrounded by water, and water regulates its temperature.
What are four factors that affected the climate of a region?
- Latitude - Ocean Currents - Altitude - Bodies of Water - Mountain Barriers
How does the temperature of the ocean change with depth?
Temperature decreases with depth because warm water is more dense and tends to stay at the top layers of the ocean. Of course, currents could also influence temperatures sometimes.
What are the factors that affect the formation of magma?
1. a decrease in pressure, which lowers the melting temperatures of materials; this occur at mid-ocean ridges. 2. an increase in pressure, which causes materials in the asthenosphere to melt; this often occurs at a hot spot. 3. an increase in the amount of water in the asthenosphere, which lowers the melting temperatures of materials; this often occurs at subduction boundaries.
Why is a submersible needed to descend to the bottom parts of the ocean?
A submersible has to be used, as it has been built specially to withstand the tremendous pressure in the deep ocean depths.
What happens to persure as you descend into the ocean?
Pressure increases as the mass of water on top of you increases the further down you go.
How the temperature difference will change if you are near an ocean?
how the temperature difference would change if st. louis were next to an ocean
What happens to temperature and pressure as you go deeper into the ocean?
Because the deeper you go the more water you have on top of you, every 10 meters you go under water, you have another atmosphere on top of you, the wieg that is pressed to you is what causes the pressure
What effects do ocean currents have on the ocean?
they change the oceans temperature.
Does the pressure in the ocean change the shape of a glass bottle?
The pressure in the ocean would change the shape of a glass bottle. If the water pressure was high then it would squeeze the bottle until it shattered.
What is a Zone of rapid change in ocean temperature is called the?
A rapid change in temperature with depth in the ocean is called thermocline. A rapid change in density with depth in the ocean is called the pynocline.Thermocline
Why is a submersible needed to descend to the bottom parts of the oceans?
A submersible has to be used, as it has been built specially to withstand the tremendous pressure in the deep ocean depths.
What role does temperature and pressure play in ocean dynamics?
Juice fool.
What 3 factors affect where ocean life is found?
temperature, light, pressure
How does the water pressure change as you go towards the oceans floor?
Pressure increases as you approach the ocean floor.
How does the temperature of water change as they move from near the bottom to the top of the ocean?
The tempereature decreases. It gets more and more colder, because the more you go down, the less sunlight , you get, therefore the change not only in temperature, but also the pressure increases and you'll see different, exotic organisms.
