(02.02 MC) In recent years, scientists have collected data on populations of Adelie and Gentoo penguins. Adelie penguins are ice dependent. They rely on sea ice as a foraging platform for feeding on prey such a krill and fish, while Gentoo penguins are considered ice-intolerant. How does the data in the graph support or refute the theory of global climate change? (3 points) © 2016, NOAA

(03.06 MC) What can be said about the diversity of life in the high tide zone compared to that of the low tide zone? (3 points)

(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)
