The final Jeopardy answer is:C1 final
Why are waves usually bigger in the ocean than in a small
lake?
C1 finalThe size of a wave depends on the area of the water and the
strength of the wind. The wind may blow the same strength over
the lake as the ocean, but the ocean has a larger surface. So,
the wind blows over a longer distance as it moves over the
ocean, producing larger waves.
C2 $100The part of the ocean floor that drops steeply.
C2 $100
What is the continental
slope?
C2 $200
The large flat area on the
bottom of the ocean.
C2 $200
What is the abyssal plain?
C2 $300
A point of land formed when soft rock wears away.
C2 $300
What is a headland?
C2 $400
A temporary pool of ocean water.
C2 $400
What is a tide pool?
C2 $500
How does a jetty work?
C2 $500
A jetty traps sand carried by long shore currents.
C3 $100
What causes waves to form.
C3 $100
What happens when wind blows over the surface
of the water?
C3 $200
How does water in a wave move?
C3 $200
In a circle
C3 $300
What happens to water pressure and water temperature as you descend?
C3 $300
Pressure increases,
temperature decreases
C3 $400
The type of currents that cause sand to
move.
C3 $400
What are long shore currents?
C3 $500
Why might some beach property owners oppose the building of
jetties?
C3 $500
People on one side of the jetty would benefit while the people on the other side would have the sand eroded away with no
way of it being replaced.
C4 $100
A dangerous current that can pull a swimmer away from shore.
C4 $100
What is a rip current?
C4 $200
This forms when waves wear a hole in a headland.
C4 $200
What is a sea arch?
C4 $300
Beach restorations replace this.
C4 $300
What is sand?
C4 $400
Where do estuaries happen?
C4 $400
Where a river empties into an
ocean.
C4 $500
If you were at the shore during a hurricane and the winds were strong and gusty, what kinds of waves would you observe?
C4 $500
The strong, gusty winds would cause waves to surge stronger
and higher than normal waves. The waves would be
choppy and capped with white.
C5 $100
Time when you can see more of the shoreline.
C5 $100
What is low tide?
C5 $200
Storm surges are caused by these.
C5 $200
What are hurricanes ?
C5 $300
The two major currents in the northern hemisphere.

and Kuroshio?
C5 $400
What features might you find on the abyssal plain?
C5 $400
Volcanoes
Trenches
mountains?
C5 $500
Rainwater flows along the side of the street, carrying leaves and twigs and depositing them where the flow turns the corner. Which makes the flow slow down. Is this a good model for long shore currents that carry beach material? Explain?
C5 $500
YES, long shore currents drop their sediments at a place where the current slows, just as the flow of rainwater deposits leaves where it turns the corner.
