The final Jeopardy answer is:C1 final

Why are waves usually bigger in the ocean than in a small

lake?

C1 finalThe size of a wave depends on the area of the water and the

strength of the wind. The wind may blow the same strength over

the lake as the ocean, but the ocean has a larger surface. So,

the wind blows over a longer distance as it moves over the

ocean, producing larger waves.

C2 $100The part of the ocean floor that drops steeply.

C2 $100

What is the continental

slope?

C2 $200

The large flat area on the

bottom of the ocean.

C2 $200

What is the abyssal plain?

C2 $300

A point of land formed when soft rock wears away.

C2 $300

What is a headland?

C2 $400

A temporary pool of ocean water.

C2 $400

What is a tide pool?

C2 $500

How does a jetty work?

C2 $500

A jetty traps sand carried by long shore currents.

C3 $100

What causes waves to form.

C3 $100

What happens when wind blows over the surface

of the water?

C3 $200

How does water in a wave move?

C3 $200

In a circle

C3 $300

What happens to water pressure and water temperature as you descend?

C3 $300

Pressure increases,

temperature decreases

C3 $400

The type of currents that cause sand to

move.

C3 $400

What are long shore

currents?

C3 $500

Why might some beach property owners oppose the building of

jetties?

C3 $500

People on one side of the jetty would benefit while the people on the other side would have the sand eroded away with no

way of it being replaced.

C4 $100

A dangerous current that can pull a swimmer away from shore.

C4 $100

What is a rip current?

C4 $200

This forms when waves wear a hole in a headland.

C4 $200

What is a sea arch?

C4 $300

Beach restorations replace this.

C4 $300

What is sand?

C4 $400

What happens at an estuary?

C4 $400

When a river empties into an

ocean.

C4 $500

If you were at the shore during a hurricane and the winds were strong and gusty, what kinds of waves would you observe?

C4 $500

The strong, gusty winds would cause waves to surge stronger

and higher than normal waves. The waves would be

choppy and capped with white.

C5 $100

When you can see more of the shoreline.

C5 $100

What is low tide?

C5 $200

Storm surges are caused by these.

C5 $400

Volcanoes

Trenches

mountains?

C5 $500

Rainwater flows along the side of the street, carrying leaves and twigs and depositing them where the flow turns the corner. Which makes the flow slow down. Is this a good model for long shore currents that carry beach material? Explain?

C5 $500

YES, long shore currents drop their sediments at a place where the current slows, just as the flow of rainwater deposits leaves where it turns the corner.
