1 Oceans Chapter 10
2 OCEANS Main Ideas Lesson 2: Ocean Currents Ocean Currents help distribute heat around Earth. Lesson 3: The Ocean Shore The shore is shaped by the movement of water and sand.
3 OCEANS SO WHAT? Oceans are a major feature of Earth. THINK: How do oceans affect your life?
4 Ocean Currents Chapter 10, Lesson 2
5 What You ll Learn: Explain how ocean currents are formed. Explain how ocean currents distribute thermal energy around Earth. Describe the major global ocean currents and gyres. So What? Ocean currents transfer heat and influence weather and climate.
6 Vocabulary Use your book to locate the definitions for the Review Vocabulary, New Vocabulary, and Academic Vocabulary words on page 109 of your Science Notebook.
7 Ocean Currents Identify 6 things that are moved from place to place by ocean currents. 1. water 4. animals 2. heat 5. plants 3. nutrients 6. ships
8 Ocean Currents Summarize how the oceans help equalize the amount of heat throughout the planet. The oceans absorb heat energy in the tropics. Ocean Currents carry the heat to the poles.
9 Ocean Currents Model how the Coriolis effect deflects ocean currents in the northern and southern hemispheres. Clockwise in the northern hemisphere Counter-clockwise in the southern hemisphere
10 Summarize It! Summarize two main ideas of the above sections in two bullet points.
11 Ocean Currents Complete the flow chart to describe the process that forms deep ocean currents in Antarctica. Surface water is by air. cooled increases Salinity as some water freezes. Surface water becomes denser and. sinks
12 Ocean Currents Model the currents that make up the North Pacific Gyre using labeled arrows.
13 Ocean Currents Analyze the cause and effects of El Niño and La Niña. Event Cause Effect El Niño Trade winds stop driving flow of water across the Pacific. Above-normal amounts of rainfall in California. La Niña Trade winds resume with great strength. Unusually cold conditions occur along the coast of South America.
14 Summarize It! Summarize the main ideas of the above sections in your own words.
15 The Ocean Shore Chapter 10, Lesson 3
16 What You ll Learn: Understand how waves shape the shore. Distinguish between different types of sand. So What? Beaches are always changing shape.
17 Vocabulary Use your book to locate the definitions for the Review Vocabulary, New Vocabulary, and Academic Vocabulary words on page 112 of your Science Notebook.
18 Shoreline Processes Summarize forces that erode the shoreline. Erosion by Wind and Waves Forces Wind Waves Effects Picks up grit and smashes it against rocks Force air and water into cracks in rocks, causing them to split; erode larger rocks into smaller pieces. Water Can dissolve minerals in rocks.
19 Shoreline Processes Distinguish two facts that affect the rate of shoreline erosion. 1. Hardness of rock 2. Intensity of wind and waves
20 Shoreline Processes Draw longshore current and longshore drift. * Waves should be shown as approaching the beach at an angle. Movement of sediment should be shown as traveling parallel to the beach.
21 Summarize It! Summarize the main ideas of the above sections.
22 Shoreline Processes Analyze how rip currents form. When many waves hit the shore at once and retain water, the longshore current cannot carry it away fast enough. Water breaks through the surf and rushes back out.
23 Shoreline Processes Summarize two unintended results caused by structures built by humans. Jetties, groins, and breakwaters: Can trap sand carried by the longshore drift, causing beaches farther down to be smaller. Seawalls: Can cause erosion by deflecting wave energy to either side or below them.
24 Shoreline Processes Order the following sediment sizes from largest to smallest. Largest BOULDER COBBLE GRAVEL SAND Smallest SILT CLAY
25 Shoreline Processes Weathering Breaks boulders into smaller rocks. Sequence the steps that form sand. Rivers Break rocks into smaller pieces Transport them to the ocean and Currents Deposit broken rock as sand on beaches
26 Summarize It! Weathering breaks large boulders into smaller rocks. Rain then washes small rocks into rivers. Rivers transport these rocks to the ocean. Along the way, rocks are continually weathered and broken down into smaller and smaller pieces. These small pieces are then transported along the shoreline.
