Unit I: Marine Biology
 Phylum (stations assignment)
 Food Webs (producers, consumers, tropic levels etc):
you will need to be able to answer questions while
looking at a food web)
 Marine Biomes
 Different Ocean Zones
 Nekton and Benthos (Adaptations, examples)
 Over fishing ( horseshoe crab and red knot bird)
 Octopus
Unit II: Geological Oceanography
 Plate Boundaries: converging, diverging, transform,
trenches, ridges, ring of fire
 Earthquakes (epicenter, focus, magnitudes)
 Underwater features: seamounts, guyots, hydrothermal
vents, abyssal hills/plains, turbidity currents, continental
shelf/slope, submarine canyons, etc
 Layers of the Earth: core (inner and outer), crust (oceanic
and continental), mantle, lithosphere, asthenosphere
 Paleomagnetism (what is it and what we learn from it)
 SONAR: sidescan and multibeam, echolocation
 Pangaea:Theory of continental drift and plate tectonics
Unit III: Physical Oceanography
 Density, salinity, temperature, (all powerpoints and
notes/handouts)
 The instruments used to measure each of the above
topics
 Current Map (know the names of all currents)
 Fast/slow currents (gyre sheet)
 Deep currents (thermohaline): what they are and their
names
 Upwellings/
 Wave and tide definitions
 Wave types: refracted, reflected, rip currents, beach
protection
 Breakers (plunging, spilling, surging)
 Spring/Neap tides with diagrams
 Moon angles and moon’s orbit
 Tsunamis
 Rogue waves, internal waves
 Intertidal zones (know each zone and the creatures that
live there)
To help you prepare, make sure you look at all old quizzes and
tests. Look at all worksheets, and study your notes in detail.
Sample Short Answer Questions (from tests)
 Label the following Oceans and Seas on the
map provided - Diagram
 Draw the water molecule and label its atomic
structure, as we did in the “Sticky Molecule” lab.
Why would 2 molecules “stick” together?
 Why is the temperature of coastal areas less
likely to have dramatic changes than inland
areas? Discuss specific heat and currents.
 How does the ocean affect the climate of an
area on land? Discuss currents, wind formation,
water cycle and specific heat.
 What is the theory of Plate Tectonics and describe the 3
boundaries.
 Draw and label an Ocean Profile, using at least 5
features we learned in class.
 Draw, label & describe the earth’s interior.
 Water is a “unique” compound. Discuss the
properties (cohesion, adhesion, specific heat
etc) of water that make it so, covalent bonds
and hydrogen bonds.
 Describe a food pyramid in the ocean and the
10% rule.
 Explain five ocean biomes
 Discuss the different types of currents in terms
of horizontal movement and vertical movement,
and their importance to the ocean.
 Explain the different methods for taking
temperature
 What are some examples of different phyla and
what organisms are found there?
 Using a diagram, explain the difference
between spring and neap tides.
