AICE Marine Science Unit 2: Ocean Floor and the Coast 100% Correct tectonic processess - Correct Answer ️️ -movements of the lithosphere resulting in volcanoes, hydrothermal vents, earthquakes, tsunamis, mid-ocean ridges and ocean trenches theory of plate tectonics - Correct Answer ️️ -states that the Earth's crust and upper mantle are broken into plates (huge rock slabs) that move according to convection currents in the earth's mantle in different directions and at different ra...

Photosynthesis vs chemosyntheis - ANS is the process by which producers use solar energy to convert carbon dioxide into glucose vs deep-sea producers uses chemical energy to make organic molecules. Photosynthesis: - ANS is an important mechanism for capturing and storing energy. Plant cells have organelles called chloroplasts, containing the pigment chlorophyll, which are able to capture the solar energy. The solar energy excites electrons in the chlorophyll, triggering a seri...

AICE Marine Science Chapter 2 Practice Test Verified Answers 1a Define what is meant by the term littoral zone. [ 1 ] the area of a shoreline that is submerged during high tide and exposed during low tide 1b Compare the formation of a rocky shore to the formation of a sandy shore. (4) Rocky shores form by exposed to high amounts of erosion, little sedimentation and high wave action. While, sandy shore is less erosion, more sedimentation, water is moving slower but still has wave action...
