Water Properties & Ocean Technology200 Points QUESTION: • What is density? • ANSWER: • Density = Mass/Volume • How much “stuff” is in a certain amount of space. www.pwssc.org
Water Properties & Ocean Technology300 Points QUESTION: • What does AUV stand for? • ANSWER: • Autonomous Underwater Vehicle www.pwssc.org
Water Properties & Ocean Technology400 Points QUESTION: • Name three ways we explore the ocean? • ANSWER: • ROVs, AUVs, free diving, SCUBA diving, diving bells, submarines, submersibles, satellites. www.pwssc.org
Water Properties & Ocean Technology500 Points QUESTION: • Why do we need so many different pieces of technology to study the ocean? • ANSWER: • Each piece of technology gives us a different view of the ocean and its various aspects. Some are more appropriate or affordable in different situations. www.pwssc.org
Oil Spill Response Equipment100 Points QUESTION: • What are two types of equipment used to trap and clean up an oil spill? • ANSWER: • Boom • Skimmer • Absorbent Pad www.pwssc.org
Oil Spill Response Equipment200 Points QUESTION: • Which is more dense, oil or water? • ANSWER: • Water www.pwssc.org
Oil Spill Response Equipment300 Points QUESTION: • Describe how an oil mousse is created. • ANSWER: • Oil is emulsified and mixed with water due to wind and wave action. www.pwssc.org
Oil Spill Response Equipment400 Points QUESTION: • Name two seasonal effects of an oil spill in the spring. • ANSWER: • Deformed or dead herring eggs, deaths of vulnerable salmon fry, disruption of bird migrations, loss of food for birds and fish. www.pwssc.org
Oil Spill Response Equipment500 Points QUESTION: • What are some special problems with an oil spill on a rocky coast? • What is a possible strategy for clean-up? • ANSWER: • The oil could sink between the rocks making it harder to clean up. Rocky coastlines are often hard to get to, hindering cleanup efforts. • Absorbent pads. www.pwssc.org
Arctic Ecosystems100 Points QUESTION: • Give one definition of the Arctic. • ANSWER: • Area north of the Arctic Circle. • Area north of the tree line • Area where the average daily summer temperature does not get above 10C www.pwssc.org
Arctic Ecosystems200 Points QUESTION: • Name the two major lifestyles of native Arctic people. • ANSWER: • Marine and Terrestrial www.pwssc.org
Arctic Ecosystems300 Points QUESTION: • Name one plant and one animal that lives in the Arctic.. • ANSWER: • Plants: Reindeer lichen, wooly lousewort, Arctic poppy, purple saxifrage, Arctic willow, orange lichen, bearberry, pasque flower, cotton grass, mountain sorrel. • Animals: Snowy owl, polar bear, tundra swan, Arctic hare, beluga whale,musk ox, caribou, reindeer, lemming, Arctic fox, walrus, tufted puffin, snow goose, Arctic tern. www.pwssc.org
Arctic Ecosystems400 Points QUESTION: • Name two adaptation strategies that animals use to survive in the Arctic. • ANSWER: • Migration, hibernation, physical traits (color change, layers of feathers or hair, wide feet or “snowshoes”, etc.) www.pwssc.org
Arctic Ecosystems500 Points QUESTION: • Name one adaptation Arctic plants have that all0ws them to survive. • ANSWER: • Growing small, close together, close to the ground. • Shallow root systems, ability to grow quickly in low temperatures, ability to spread vegetatively (without seeds) www.pwssc.org
Climate Change and Oil in the Arctic100 Points QUESTION: • Name two characteristics of climate change. • ANSWER: • Rising temperatures, changes in weather, warm acidic oceans, melting ice caps, rising sea levels, retreating glaciers www.pwssc.org
Climate Change and Oil in the Arctic200 Points QUESTION: • Name two different kinds of sea ice. • ANSWER: • Fast Ice • Pack Ice • Old Ice • First-year Ice www.pwssc.org
Climate Change and Oil in the Arctic300 Points QUESTION: • Explain the albedo effect. • ANSWER: • Light surfaces such as snow and ice reflect more sunlight, while dark surfaces like open water absorb sunlight. As the ocean absorbs more heat, it warms up, causing more ice to melt, which means there is more surface area where sunlight is being absorbed. www.pwssc.org
Climate Change and Oil in the Arctic400 Points QUESTION: • How does retreating sea ice affect black guillemots? • ANSWER: • As sea ice retreats farther from land, guillemots have to travel greater distances to feed their chicks, so they can’t bring as much food back. At some point, they won’t be able to get enough food to keep their chicks alive and will have to find another food source www.pwssc.org
Climate Change and Oil in the Arctic500 Points QUESTION: • Name two reasons why an oil spill in the Arctic could be particularly devastating. • ANSWER: • Environmentally sensitive region, top predators congregate, food web dependent on plankton blooms, short productive season www.pwssc.org
ROVs100 Points QUESTION: • What does “ROV” stand for? • ANSWER: • Remotely Operated Vehicle www.pwssc.org
ROVs200 Points QUESTION: • How do we operate ROVs? • ANSWER: • Using a controller and tether attached to the machine. www.pwssc.org
ROVs300 Points QUESTION: • How can ROVs help us in the arctic? • ANSWER: • Explore the harsh/dark environment, clean up oil spills, access areas under the ice. www.pwssc.org
ROVs400 Points QUESTION: • Name two things to consider when designing an ROV. • ANSWER: • Even distribution of weight, motor placement, distribution of floatation relative to weight, what tasks the ROV needs to accomplish. www.pwssc.org
ROVs500 Points QUESTION: • What three properties of water are important to understand when designing an ROV? • ANSWER: • Density • Buoyancy • Pressure www.pwssc.org
