20radiolarian ooze is a type of sediment. continental oceanic neritic pelagic 21water’s high heat capacity allows the ocean water to be: cooler than the land around it. warmer than the land around it. the same temperature as the land around it. sometimes warmer, sometimes cooler than the land around it. 22what is “heat”? it is thermal energy. it results from thermal energy. it is a measure of kinetic energy. it is a measure of potential energy. 23adjacent water molecules are held together by: van der waals forces covalent bonds ionic bonds hydrogen bonds 24the thermocline is a layer in the ocean that represents: density change due to mixing. density change due to salinity. density change due to temperature. constant density due to salinity. 25in ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to another. what are the new relative charges between the two atoms? the giving atom and receiving atom are both negatively charged. the giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged. the giving and receiving atom are both positively charged. the giving atom is now negatively charged and the receiving atom is now positively charged. 26.air at the horse latitudes and creates pressure at the surface. sinks, high sinks, low rises, high rises, low 27.the force that causes the wind to blow is called: pressure gradient force friction coriolis forc centrifugal force 28.thermohaline circulation is driven by density gravity latitude temperature wind 29.which statement below is not correct concerning coriolis force? it causes the winds to deflect to the right in the northern hemisphere it is strongest at the equator it can cause winds to change direction, but not to increase or decrease in speed it deflects winds in the opposite directions in the northern and southern hemisphere 30.the california current is an eastern boundary current western boundary current answer all the multiple choices !
