1. Walk In Take out notebook, folder, pencil box.
Copy the question and answer in sentences:
How is a geological oceanographer different from a marine biologist?

2. Answer
A geological oceanographer studies the rocks and rock formations on the ocean floor.
A marine biologist studies living things in the ocean and on the shoreline.

3. Ocean Zones

4. Make your fold-up book.
Fold your paper in half once, as shown in the diagrams.

5. Fold in half again…

6. Fold in half one last time…
Paper has been folded so there are 8 boxes formed.

7. Draw over the fold lines on the front and back.

8. Label the boxes 1 to 8 on the front, and 9 to 16 on the back.

9. Write your name and period # in BOX 16.

10. Follow the directions on each slide that follows.
Some slides tell you to take notes.
Some slides are for you to read or observe.
Some slides may have links to click.

11. Take notes in box 1 - Sunlight Zone
Sunlight Zone Lots of light Warmest temperature ft. 90% of marine life Green plants

12. Take notes in box 2 – Twilight Zone
ft.
Water beginning to get darker
Temperature decreases
Pressure increases
Shark
Very little light (only at top)

13. Take notes in box 3 – Midnight Zone
Less food
Less animal life
Bioluminescence only light

14. Take notes in box 4 - Abyss
Abyss Very dark Scarce food supplies Organisms grow slowly High water pressure Goes to ocean floor Most ocean floor features

15. Take notes in box 5 - Trenches
It is a long, narrow depression on the bottom of the ocean floor.
Deepest zone in ocean.
Highest pressure
The Mariana Trench is off the coast of Japan and is the lowest point in the ocean.

17. Take notes in box 6 -Bioluminescence
Bioluminescence is the production of light by a living organism. The organism gives off light and glows.
It occurs in the Midnight Zone, Abyss and Trenches, since no sunlight reaches these zones.

Write the names of two bioluminescent creatures in box 9.

18. Box 7 – Take notes The Ocean Floor
Oceanographers discovered the shape of the ocean floor by measuring the depth of the floor in many places.
They used sonar (sound waves) and radar (radio waves) to help map the ocean floor.

19. Box 8 – Ocean Floor
Sonar detects objects under water and measures the water's depth.
Sound waves are sent from the surface. Scientists measure how long it takes the sound wave reflect from the bottom and return up.
They can calculate how deep the ocean is at that point, and form a map of the ocean floor.
