New Q2 Aquatics Supplemental Assignment

Front

What is Wavelength?

Back

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive points of a wave that are in phase, such as from crest to crest or trough to trough.

Front

What is Amplitude?

Back

Amplitude is the maximum extent of a wave's displacement from its rest position, indicating the energy of the wave.

Front

What are Currents?

Back

Currents are continuous, directed movements of seawater generated by various factors including wind, the Earth's rotation, and differences in water density.

Front

What is the role of the Sun in ocean currents?

Back

The Sun influences ocean currents by heating the water, which affects temperature and density, leading to movement.

Front

What is Evaporation?

Back

Evaporation is the process by which water changes from a liquid to a gas, typically occurring when heat is added.

Front

What is Photosynthesis?

Back

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll.

Front

What is Compression in waves?

Back

Compression is the region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are closest together, resulting in increased pressure.

Front

What is Rarefaction in waves?

Back

Rarefaction is the region in a longitudinal wave where the particles are spread apart, resulting in decreased pressure.

Front

What is the Water Cycle?

Back

The water cycle is the continuous process by which water moves through the environment via evaporation, condensation, and precipitation.

Front

How do continents affect ocean currents?

Back

Continents can alter the flow of ocean currents by acting as barriers, redirecting the movement of water.
