Waves are Started by Disturbances Called

• Swells

• Tsunamis

• Rogue Waves

• Generating Forces

The Primary generating force that creates waves is/are:

• Landslides

• Seismic Events

• Wind

• Meteor Impacts

When wind blows across the water's surface it creates friction which causes a drag along the water and forms small waves known as:

• Capillary Waves

• Rogue Waves

• Spash Waves

• Swells

• False

• True

• Neither of the above

Analyze the role of keystone species in marine ecosystems.

• They have no significant role.

• They help maintain the structure and balance of the ecosystem.

• They are the most abundant species.

• They are the least important species.

DOK Level 3: Strategic Thinking

Evaluate the effectiveness of marine protected areas (MPAs) in conserving marine ecosystems.

• MPAs are ineffective in conserving marine ecosystems.

• MPAs help in the preservation and recovery of marine ecosystems.

• MPAs only protect terrestrial ecosystems.

• MPAs lead to the destruction of marine ecosystems.

DOK Level 3: Strategic Thinking

Analyze the impact of marine conservation efforts on endangered species.

• They have no significant impact.

• They help in the recovery and protection of endangered species.

• They only benefit non-endangered species.

• They lead to the extinction of endangered species.

DOK Level 3: Strategic Thinking

Explain how overfishing can impact marine biodiversity.

• It increases the number of fish species.

• It leads to the extinction of certain fish species.

• It has no impact on marine biodiversity.

• It only affects the fish population.

DOK Level 2: Skill/Concept

Which of the following causes the water surface waves to go back to an undisturbed state?

• Generating Force

• Splash Force

• Kinetic Force

• Restoring Force

As a wave travel through the water it moves water particles up and down in a motion called:

• Orbital Motion

• Capillary Motion

• Backwards Motion

• Celerity Motion
