Hydrology
Ocean Floor Features
Seamounts
when pressured magma pushes up against the earth it causes magma to go up and once the magma pushes up it cools and hardens forming a seamount.
Cont.shelf
The cont slope is above the Cont slope is located above the con rise and slope it is basically the highest lvl of the sea.
Cont. Slope
the cont slope is located under the cont. shelf and gradually lowers until reaching the cont. rise where it stop it kind of looks like stairs
Cont.rise
the cont rise is nothing of what it's name empliles it is actually one of the lowest areas in the ocean.
Ocean Trench
when two plates a continental plate and an oceanic plate collide and the oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate and the zone there is called an oceanic trench, for example, the ever so famous Mariana trench.
Abyssal Plain
the abyssal plain is one of the lowest levels of the sea its pretty much a underwater plain since of its large size
Volcanic Island
Magma Pushes upon the oceanic floor cause lava to come out and over time the lava stacks to form a volcanic island slowly every day
Mid Ocean Ridge
A mid-ocean ridge happens when two oceanic plates collide and form a mid-ocean ridge simply they both collide and none subduct.
Water Cycle
-
Precipation
Weathering
The breaking down of rocks, the brodest sections are Chemical(and biological)and Physical
-
Condensation
the process in which water vapor turns into liquid by clumping together to form liquid water than gets heavy and falls out of clouds as precipitation
Run Off
-
the rain falling from the clouds in the sky reaching the earth then falling into seas, lakes , and rivers.
infiltration
the process in which runoff or precipation sink into the ground and goes down into aquifers forming groundwater
Accumaltion
When Runoff Falls On to the ground the runoff falls in the same place as other runoff forming Oceans Rivers Or Lakes.

Transpiration
the process in which water vapor falls out of pores in the plant that goes up into the air. Then again the plants realize small amounts of water vapor that isn't significant.
Water Column
Pressure: Increases as well Since as you dive into deeper water the pressure gets hard since you get closer to the core and that the cores gravitational pull puts more pressure on your body. This one of the main reasons that make us not be able to dive deeper than 40Meters
Temperature: Decrease since the water the deeper you go gets colder since water is not affected by the temperature (Sun, wind, etc) So it doesn't get warm\heated.
The salinity increases since the saltest water sink below the less salty water and so that the saltest water is underwater
Density: Increases the further deep you get into the ocean. The density increases since the salinity in the water increases because more salty water sinks below the lightly salty water stay on top.
Waves,Tides And Currents
-
The process in which waves form is that wind blows on the sea and the water in the sea is pushed to form waves and makes them over time get bigger
