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

This definiton belongs to which type of weathering?

• Chemical Weathering

• Organic (biological) Weathering

• Physical Weathering

• Weathering

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

Sandy shores, Muddy shores, Delta's, and Estuaries are all examples of _________

• Littorial zones

• High tide aftermaths

• Sedimentation

• Product of Erosion

NGSS.MS-ESS2-2

Sheltered or semi-enclosed bodies of water where fresh & salt water mix (AKA brackish); therefore low salinity

• Delta

• Estuarie

• Sinkhole

• Shore

The vertical movement of water on the coast/the change in water height on the coastline; due to the gravitational pull of the Moon, Earth, & Sun. 

• Neap tide

• Spring tide

• Tidal range

• Tide

The distance on the coast between the high and low water/tides (changes daily)

• Tidal range

• Neap tide

• Tide

• Spring tide

the coastal flooding of an abnormally high seawater level associated with low pressure weather systems; also called a storm surge

• Tidal surge

• Tidal range

• Tide
