Precipitation draining from the land into a body of water.
A body of salt water occupying 70% of the Earth’s surface. Oceanography 5B Oceanography 1B Area along the edge of the continents; shallow, submerged area by the shoreline. The scientific name for the mineral “salt.” Oceanography 6B Oceanography 2B Steeply dropping part of the ocean floor. Concentration of dissolved salts in a sample of water. Oceanography 7B Oceanography 3B Thick layers of sediment found between the continental slope and the ocean floor. The speed of the process of liquid turning into gas. Oceanography 8B Oceanography 4B

A stream of water that flows like a river through the ocean.
The plant and animal organisms that live on the sea floor. Oceanography 21B Oceanography 17B The movement of nutrient-rich deep seawater to the ocean’s surface. The vertebrates and invertebrates that swim in the ocean. Oceanography 22B Oceanography 18B Small, photosynthetic organisms in water ecosystems that float on the ocean currents (plant-like plankton). The repeated rises and falls in the level of the ocean. Oceanography 23B Oceanography 19B Small, consumer organisms in water ecosystems that float on the ocean current (animal-like plankton). The upward force that a fluid exerts on an object that is less dense than itself; the ability to float. Oceanography 24B Oceanography 20B
