Definition of hydrology:
The study of water in all its forms
(rain, snow and water on the earth’s surface), and
from its origins to all its destinations on the earth
is called hydrology.

As part of a field investigation, Stephen analyzed a sample of
ocean
water. The table above summarizes the relative amounts of
dissolved
salts found in the sample. Based on the table, which of the
following is
a valid conclusion?
A. Six elements make up 99.3% of ocean water.
B. Chlorine only forms a compound with sodium in ocean water.
C. Magnesium is found in trace amounts in ocean water.
D. Sodium chloride is the most abundant dissolved solid in ocean

terms (:
SONAR, seamount, salinity, etc)
in 3-4 complete sentences.
◦Tell about the
makeup, place, and under

oceans. (Describe the
composition, location, and
subsurface topography of the
world’s oceans. )

9. 
It is the name for the collective area that
encompasses the continental shelf, continental
slope, and continental rise.
The submerged shelf and slope forming the outer edge of a major
landmass

10.  The
zone
around a
continent, that
part extending
from the
shoreline and
the continental
slope.

Mariana Trench, which lies east of the
Mariana Islands in the western North
Pacific Ocean; it reaches 11,034
metres (36,200 feet) at its deepest
point.
The longest trench is the Peru-Chile
Trench, which extends some 5,900
km (about 3,700 miles) along the west
coast of South America. Trenches are
relatively narrow, usually less than
100 km (about 60 miles) wide.
associated
They are
with a
certain type of volcanic chain called an
island arc, plate subduction and with
zones of high earthquake activity.

16.  Flat
seafloor area
at an abyssal
depth (3,000 to
6,000 m [10,000
to 20,000
feet]), generally
adjacent to a
continent.

18. 
The mid-ocean ridge represents an area
where, in accordance with plate tectonic
theory, lithospheric plates (also called
tectonic plates) move apart and new crust
is created by magma (molten rock)
pushing up from the mantle . The midocean ridge system is an example of a
divergent (rather than a convergent or
transform) plate boundary.
An example: In the Atlantic Ocean, the
mid-ocean ridge is called the Mid-Atlantic
Ridge.
