(03.01 MC) Over the last few decades, scientists have noticed that lobsters, which obtain heat from the environment rather than generating it themselves, are moving north at a rate of six kilometers per year. What is the best explanation based on these observations? (3 points)

(01.03 MC) In order to simulate bathypelagic zone conditions in a model aquarium design, what light and pressure conditions would be required? (3 points)

(02.02 HC) In 2014, the European Space Agency’s Rosetta mission landed on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The spacecraft detected the presence of water ice on the comet. Does this finding allow the outside-in model to be elevated to a scientific theory? Why or why not? (3 points)

(01.03 LC) Which ocean zone receives the most of sunlight? (3 points)

(01.04 LC) What property of water allows fish to survive in a lake that is frozen over? (3 points)

(03.02 HC) A group of scientists is developing a new chemical compound. They want to test its effects on an aquatic ecosystem using a nearby ocean bay. They enclose a region of a bay with an insulated covering to create an isolated system in which to do their experiment. Predict what would happen to living organisms in this isolated experimental system. (3 points)

(02.02 MC) When the Earth’s continental crust and ocean crust formed, they were different densities. Why did they differ in density and how did this affect their formation? (3 points)

(01.03 HC) The Helmet Jelly, a type of jellyfish, will migrate from an ocean zone with limited light to the zone that has the most available light. Which zones are the jellyfish moving between and why? (3 points)

(01.02 MC) A deep sea robot is sent to the bottom of the ocean. What will it most likely observe, in terms of the numbers of photosynthetic organisms and light conditions? (3 points)

(01.04 MC) Water is said to have a high boiling point. How does this property of water allow for life in the oceans? (3 points)
