Principle_1_6-8, Special characterisitics of water molecules facilitate dissolving and help define why the ocean is salty. Salt enters from land and atmosphere; leaves through biological and geological processes., Features on the seafloor are more varied that those on land. Examples: trenches, rift zones, Seamounts, ridge systems fracture zones, submarine canyons, continental shelf, slope, islands, atolls, etc. CA 5-8, Tides occur in predictable patterns but the patterns vary from place to place . Tide times and heights change ever day., Tides occur everywhere in the oceans and on land, other bodies of water and the atmosphere. Tides are created by the "pull" of the moon and sun (gravity)., The density of water is related to its temperature and "salt" content. Density differences can cause currents., Tides occur everywhere in the oceans and on land, other bodies of water and the atmosphere. Tides occur in predictable patterns but the patterns vary from place to place ., Special characterisitics of water molecules facilitate dissolving and help define why the ocean is salty. Dissolving is not synonymous with melting., Special characterisitics of water molecules facilitate dissolving and help define why the ocean is salty. Seawater's freezing point is slightly below that of fresh water., The Earth's crust is divided into several plates that are in constant motion. ???? Many of the physical features on the ocean floor are the result of plate motion., The Earth's crust (ocean floor and continents) are fractured to form lithospheric plates. ???? Ocean basins are located on more than one lithospheric plate.
