What is one way water contributes to the formation of sedimentary rocks?
Water carries sediments, which form into layers that create sedimentary rocks over time.
Water mixes with magma from below Earth's surface to form sedimentary rocks.
Water causes the rocks to melt, forming sedimentary rocks.
Water separates the material in sediments so only sand forms layers and creates a sedimentary rock.
A classmate points out that we should not be overly concerned about the melting of Greenland's
glaciers because it is not the only cause of sea level rise. What else can cause sea levels to rise?
albedo
O expansion of ocean water
acidification
desalination
prolonged droughts
What role do oceans play in the water cycle?
They are the main site for water infiltration into the soil, supporting underground aquifers and maintaining soil moisture levels
They primarily act as a storage reservoir for groundwater and contribute minimally to atmospheric moisture
They serve as the primary source of evaporation, which contributes to the formation of clouds and precipitation
They absorb water vapor directly from the atmosphere and help regulate global humidity levels

- Starting with a drop of water in the ocean, describe a full cycle of movement of the water drop through the hydrologic cycle (the water must end up back in the ocean). Through what reservoirs does that water move? What physical forms does the water take (e.g., liquid, solid, gasarrow_forwardWater is less dense as a solid than as a liquid. How does this property typically affect a lake ecosystem in freezing temperatures? O When the lake is frozen, fish still have access to liquid water for oxygen and swimming as well as access to food on the bottom of the lake O When the lake is frozen, fish still have access to liquid water for oxygen and swimming but no longer have access to food on the bottom of the lake. O When the lake is frozen, fish no longer have access to liquid water for oxygen and swimmng but do have access to food on the bottom of the lake. O When the lake is frozen, fish no longer have access to liquid water for oxygen and swimming and no longer have access to food on the bottom of the lakearrow_forwardWhat must happen in order for water in the ocean to become water vapor in the atmosphere? water near the ocean surface must release heat energy to condense into water vapor water near the ocean surface must react with carbon dioxide to form water vapor water near the ocean surface must warm up enough to evaporate into water vapor water near the ocean surface must cool down enough to evaporate into water vaporarrow_forward
- Deserts are commonly found around the world at 30 degrees latitude north and south of the equator. Why are these areas so dry? Group of answer choices -there is no ocean at these latitudes -Cool dry air sinks to the ground at these latitudes -rain shadows -the sun is usually directly overheadarrow_forward1. What causes ocean warming and acidification? It is caused mainly by carbon dioxide and many marine organisms that produce carbonate shells 2. Why are human activities that release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere causing concern? Type answer here. 3. How does the water chemistry charlge as carbon dioxide gas is dissolved in the ocean? Type answer here. 4. What will happen if man continues to release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere? Type answer here. 5. What are two economic risks of ocean acidification? Type answer here. 6.
