Below are the questions for the exam with the choices of answers:
Question #2
A A measure of salinity
B The terms in which the acidity or alkalinity of a solution is measured. It measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution.
C The terms in which the acidity or alkalinity of a solution is measured. It measures the concentration of nitrogen ions in a solution.
D The terms in which the acidity or alkalinity of a solution is measured. It measures the concentration of oxygen ions in a solution.
Question #3
A 82% atmosphere, 7% ocean
B 42% atmosphere, 87% ocean
C 22% atmosphere, 87% ocean
D 78% atmosphere, 48% ocean
E 52% atmosphere, 57% ocean
Question #4
A The maximum length of time an element spends in the ocean
B The average length of time an element spends in the ocean
C how long it takes to measure the salt level
D The minimum length of time an element spends in the ocean
Question #5
A The concept that the ocean has a uniform salinity
B It is a concept that ions are added to the ocean at the same rate as they are being removed
C The concept that the ocean has a uniform pH
D The concept that the ocean has a uniform temperature
Question #6
A the ratio of major salts is constant in the ocean regardless of the salinity
B the ratio of major salts is constant unless the salinity changes
C the salt level is variable throughout the ocean
D the ratio of major salts is in constane flux in the ocean
Question #7

D as salinity increases, evaporation slows
E all of these
Question #8
A ionic
B simplistic
C polar
D covalent
Question #9
A Orange
B Purple
C Yellow
D Green
E Red
F Blue
Question #10
A the zone of no light
B the zone of light
C the zone of no sound
D the zone of little light
Question #11
A the pycnocline, the middle zone, the deep zone
B the surface zone, the middle zone, and the deep zone
C the surface zone, the pycnocline, the deep zone
D the upper layer, the middle layer, and the lower layer
E the surface zone, the pycnocline, the bottom zone
Question #12
A No
B Yes. 3000 meters and deeper
C Yes. 1000 meters.
D Yes. 100 meters.
E Yes. 1 meters.
Question #13
A Adhesion leaves no visible remains while cohesion does.
B Cohesion leaves no visible remains while adhesion does.
C There is no difference they are the same
D Adhesion is the property of water molecules to stick to each other. Cohesion is the ability of water to stick to other materials, allows water to cohere to solids, that is, to make them wet.
E Cohesion is the property of water molecules to stick to each other. Adhesion is the ability of water to stick to other materials, allows water to adhere to solids, that is, to make them wet.
