AICE Marine Unit 2 Review

Where are hydrothermal vents formed?

• Along divergent plate tectonic boundries in the deep ocean

• On the ocean floor

• By the heat of volcanic activity

• Alongside the Convergent boundries

Weathering is______

• The breakdown of rocks/sediment by physical or chemical methods

• The movement of water and suspended sand that will break down rocks

• Carried away/removal of sediment

• Acidic water that moves shells, rocks, and coral's exoskeleton

Erosion is________

• Breakdwon of rocks/sediment

• Acidic water will breakdown rocks, shells, and coral's exoskeleton

• Carried away/removal of sediment

• Movement of water and suspended sand that will break down rocks and coral's exoskeleton

More acidic water will be able to breakdown rocks, shells, and coral's exoskeleton; chemical compositon change

This definiton belongs to which type of weathering?

• Chemical Weathering

• Organic (biological) Weathering

• Physical Weathering

• Weathering

The movement of water and suspended sand will breakdown rocks and coral's exoskeleton; breakdown by temp changes

This is the definition of which type of weathering?

• Weathering

• Organic (biological) Weathering

• Chemical Weathering

This is the definiton to which type of weathering?

• Weathering

• Chemical Weathering

• Physical Weathering

• Organic (biological) Weathering

There are 4 types of Erosion, what are they?

• Water, rocks, sand, and ice

• Water, gravity. rocks, and ice

• Wind, water, ice, and rocks

After breaking down and transporting , the particles are suspended in the water and delivered somewhere. This delivery(deposition) of new particles in a new location is_______

• Weathering

• Erosion

• Sedimentation

• Littorial zone

intertidal region on a shoreline, between the highest and lowest spring tide marks = between the highest high tide & lowest low tide mark on the coast

• Littoral zone

• Asthenosphere

• Mantle

• spring tide
