(03.06 LC) In which zone would you expect to find the least amount of biodiversity due to the variable conditions it experiences? (3 points)

(01.03 MC) In general, how do most nutrients reach the mesopelagic and bathypelagic zones? (3 points)

(02.05 MC) Hurricanes form over oceans but can move onto land areas. When this happens, the storm can cause major damage to wildlife. In 1999, Hurricane Floyd hit some beaches and washed away thousands of sea turtle nests. What is the most likely consequence of this event? (3 points)

(01.03 MC) What is the source of oxygen in the epipelagic zone? (3 points)

(02.06 LC) When glaciers melt, water is returned to groundwater storage by what means? (3 points)

(01.03 LC) If you were descending through the ocean zones in a submersible, which would be the first zone you encounter that is entirely without light? (3 points)

(03.03 MC) You call to a friend from a boat floating in the ocean. Which best describes the changes in the speed of the sound waves as they move from you to below the surface of the ocean? (3 points)

(03.02 LC) Which of the following is an example of a closed system? (3 points)

(01.01 HC) A group of marine scientists introduced a species of fish into an artificial habitat and wanted to determine if it will grow well in the new environment. They recorded the population over several years and their data is plotted below. Analyze the data and formulate a conclusion. Does this species of fish do well in this habitat? Predict what will happen to the population over the next five years. (3 points)

(01.01 HC) Scientists have been studying threats to coral reefs. The percent of reefs affected by various threats are shown in the figure below. A future global temperature increase may affect all categories on the figure. Predict which category would change the most from global temperature increases and propose a testable question that scientists could study. (3 points) © 2016 World Resources Institute
