20Radiolarian ooze is a type of _______________ sediment. Continental Oceanic Neritic Pelagic 21Water’s high heat capacity allows the ocean water to be: Cooler than the land around it. Warmer than the land around it. The same temperature as the land around it. Sometimes warmer, sometimes cooler than the land around it. 22What is “heat”? It is thermal energy. It results from thermal energy. It is a measure of kinetic energy. It is a measure of potential energy. 23Adjacent water molecules are held together by: van der Waals forces Covalent bonds Ionic bonds Hydrogen bonds 24The thermocline is a layer in the ocean that represents: Density change due to mixing. Density change due to salinity. Density change due to temperature. Constant density due to salinity. 25In ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to another. What are the new relative charges between the two atoms? The giving atom and receiving atom are both negatively charged. The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged. The giving and receiving atom are both positively charged. The giving atom is now negatively charged and the receiving atom is now positively charged. 26.Air __________ at the horse latitudes and creates __________ pressure at the surface. Sinks, high Sinks, low Rises, high Rises, low 27.The force that causes the wind to blow is called: Pressure gradient force Friction Coriolis forc Centrifugal force 28.Thermohaline circulation is driven by Density Gravity Latitude Temperature Wind 29.Which statement below is not correct concerning Coriolis force? It causes the winds to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere It is strongest at the equator It can cause winds to change direction, but not to increase or decrease in speed It deflects winds in the opposite directions in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere 30.The California current is an Eastern boundary current Western boundary current Please answer all the multiple choices !
Explanation / Answer

Oceanic
Neritic
Pelagic
Answer
Radiolarian ooze is a type of Oceanic sediment .
21.Water’s high heat capacity allows the ocean water to be:
Cooler than the land around it.
Warmer than the land around it.
The same temperature as the land around it.
Sometimes warmer, sometimes cooler than the land around it
Answer
Water’s high heat capacity allows the ocean water to be Cooler than the land around it.
Explanation : As the heat capacity of ocean water is higher than the land , therefore more heat required to change its temperature (lets say x0c ) compare to the land as its heat capacity lower than ocean water . same solar energy incident on ocean and land , but change of temperature of land is higher than the ocean . therefore ocean is cooler than land
. 22 What is “heat”?
It is thermal energy.
It results from thermal energy.
It is a measure of kinetic energy.
It is a measure of potential energy.
Answer :
Heat is a thermal energy
23 Adjacent water molecules are held together by:
van der Waals forces
Covalent bonds
Ionic bonds
Hydrogen bonds
Answer
Hydrogen bonds
Explanation : In water hydrogen bonds form between neighboring hydrogen and oxygen atoms of adjacent water molecules .
24 The thermocline is a layer in the ocean that represents:
Density change due to mixing.
Density change due to salinity.
Density change due to temperature.
Constant density due to salinity.
Answer
Density change due to temperature
25In ionic bonding, during the transfer of electrons between two neutrally charged atoms, one electron moves from one atom to another. What are the new relative charges between the two atoms?
The giving atom and receiving atom are both negatively charged.
The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged.
The giving and receiving atom are both positively charged.
The giving atom is now negatively charged and the receiving atom is now positively
charged.
Answer is
The giving atom is now positively charged and the receiving atom is now negatively charged
Explanation :
We know that atoms are neutral , having zero charge , Hence For giving atom , there is a deficiency of electron and becomes positive charge . on the other hand for the receiving atom , there is more electron and becomes negative charge .
26. Air __________ at the horse latitudes and creates __________ pressure at the surface.
Sinks, high Sinks, low Rises, high Rises, low
Answer
Air __sink________ at the horse latitudes and creates ___high_______ pressure at the surface.
27.The force that causes the wind to blow is called:
Pressure gradient force
Friction
Coriolis forc
Centrifugal force
Answer
Pressure gradient force
28.Thermohaline circulation is driven by
Density
Gravity
Latitude
Temperature
Wind
Answer
Density ( due to density gradient this types of circulation occurs )
29.Which statement below is not correct concerning Coriolis force?
It causes the winds to deflect to the right in the Northern Hemisphere
It is strongest at the equator
It can cause winds to change direction, but not to increase or decrease in speed
It deflects winds in the opposite directions in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere
Answer is
It deflects winds in the opposite directions in the Northern and Southern Hemisphere
30.The California current is
an Eastern boundary current
Western boundary current
Answer is
An Eastern boundary current .
