since their initial formation, the ocean basins have stayed relatively unchanged.
hydrogen bonds are weak associations between polar molecules such as water
density increases with increasing temperatures.
abyssal plains are found on the deep ocean floor at depths of up to 5000 meter.
most major animal phyla evolved some 500 million years ago
the southern hemisphere is composed of over 2/3 landmasses
carbon dioxide is limited in the ocean
two important limited nutrients in the ocean are nitrogen and phosphorus
the oxygen minimum zone often corresponds with the thermocline
the himalaya mountains are a result of seafloor spreading
an atmospheric ozone layer made of oxygen protects the earth from ultraviolet radiation
pressure in the ocean increases about 1 atmosphere for every 10 m increase in depth
in general the photic zone extends to about 100m
gyres represent the largest circulation patterns in the ocean
surface waves can potentially carry water thousands of miles across the ocean
the mantle is situated between the earths crust and the outer core
an important evolutionary stage was the ultimate accumulation of oxygen from the photosynthesizerss about 2.5 billion years ago
excess precipitation occurs at tropical latitudes as well as at polar latitudes
