Name: Flynn Questions Worksheet Fact Card#1: How does water move on the surface of the ocean? _The water is _constantly _moving on the surface____________________________________________________The water moves in a form of wave._________________________________________________________ Fact Card#2: How does water move below the surface of the ocean? _____The water the ocean is constantly moving Below the surface___________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card #3: What are the two types of ocean currents? __High tide and low tide______________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card #4: Define ocean currents. __Ocean currents are moving streams of water within the ocean. ______________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card #5: Define the ‘surface current’. ___Currents that move on or near the surface of the ocean is called surface._____________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card #6: List the factors which control the surface currents. _________Three factors that control the surface currents are air currents, Earth’s rotation and location of continents_______________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card#7: Which factors affect the flow of ocean surface water? ___which factors affect the flow of ocean surface water?_____________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ © 2015 by Brilliant Classes Name: _Flynn _______________________________ Questions Worksheet Fact Card#8: How are deep currents generated in the ocean? __Diffrence in the water density due to the tempature gradient moves the water and creates the deep currents.______________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card#9: Write down the characteristics of cold and warm water. Cold water is more dense and it sinks and moves. Warm wateris less dense and it rises up.________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card #10: Which ocean currents travel more faster? _________Surface currents travel much faster than deep ocean currents._______________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card #11: Write the factors that cause the deep currents. _________Deep ocean currents are caused in the temperature salinity how the (how salty the water is) and density of the water.______________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact currents? Card #12: How do the Sun and the Moon cause the ocean ________The gravitational pull of the moon and sun is also an important factor to cause ocean currents.________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card #13: Give the definition of wave. _Rythic movement_______________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card#14: What are the causes of waves? ___Waves are caused by wind, earthquakes and gravitational force of the sun and moon._____________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ © 2015 by Brilliant Classes Name: ____________________________________ Questions Worksheet Fact Card#15: List the characteristics of a wave. __Wavelength,wave height,x2 crest and trough parts of a wave.______________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card#16: Write the parameters on which the wave height is dependent. _ ___1.wind speed 2.Distance over which wind. 3. Length of time the wind blows____________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card #17: What happens during tide? _The water comes in and out when it is high tide or low tide._______________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card #18: What do you mean by high tide? __High tide is when the water comes up more than usual.______________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card #19: What do you mean by low tide? ______________Low tide is when the water go out more than usual.__________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card #20: How does the Moon’s gravity pull ocean water? _The moons gravitational pull towards the earth cause a tidal pull so it can control the water tides._______________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card#21: What is the cycle duration of high/low tide? The high tide goes in then comes out and then turns into low tide._____________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ © 2015 by Brilliant Classes Name: Flynn____________________________________ Questions Worksheet Fact Card#22: Define tidal range. __A tidal range. High tide and low tide are 2 diffrent things.______________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card#23: When does spring tide occur? _Spring tides happen when the Earth, Sun and Moon are in a line. _______________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card #24: Which tides occur during full/new moon? ____A king tide.____________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card #25: When does neap tide occur? _Neap tides occur when the Moon and Sun are perpindicular to eachother._______________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card #26: Which tides occur during quarter moon? ____A neap tide.____________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card #27: Which tides are known as weak tides? Why? ____Neap tides are weak tides because of the gravitatinsl forcesof the Moon and Sun contract.____________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ Fact Card#28: Which tides are known as strong tides? Why? Spring tides are strong tides because the Moon and Sun’s Gravitational force combine to create a strong tide. _______________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ © 2015 by Brilliant Classes
