Think back to ‘A Whale of a Roller Coaster’ Lab.  What new concept or idea did you find most interesting during this lab?  Please be specific and detailed for credit.

Give me a general example of where you would find coastal erosion in your state of Alaska.

We discussed how the physical and biological factors of the marine environment influence where a community is located as well as who makes up that community.  Please name one type of physical factor discussed.

Choose one of the following and describe its role in the ocean’s biological pump:  phytoplankton food web microbes zooplankton shells

Which general area/s of the oceans have low amounts of CO2 diffusing into sea surface waters? Choose all that apply.

Choose one of the marine communities discussed and tell me the following about that community: What species dominates this community What type of physical factors determine distribution within community

What do scientists learn from measuring the primary productivity of our oceans?

Seismic disturbances as well as hazards including earthquakes, landslides, avalanches and tsunamis are common contributors to coastal erosion.

What is marine biology?

What role does the microbial loop play in moving carbon down the biological pump?
