Oyashio
1. Terrarium:-It is an artificial enclosure for keeping small house plant.
2. Salinity:-It is the amount of salt present in ocean water.

What is precipitation?
Falling of moisture on the land in the form of rainfall, snow, fog, sleet and hailstone is termed as precipitation.

What are the factors affecting the height of the waves?

1.Winds

2. Earthquake

3. Volcanic eruption

4. Under water land slides

Which factors affect the movement of ocean water?


1.Temperature, winds

2.Gravitational pull of the sun

3. The earth and the moon

4. Warm and cold currents

5.Under water land slides


What are tides and how are they caused?
1. The rhythmic rise and fall of ocean water is called tides and that is occur in twice a
day.
2. The strong gravitational pull exerted by the sun and the moon on the earth’s surface
causes the tides.
What are ocean currents?
Ocean currents are streams of water flowing constantly on the ocean surface in definite
directions.
Give reasons:
1. Ocean water is salty.
Because the oceans contains large amount of dissolved salts.
2. The quality of water is deteriorating.
1. Water is being used injudiciously.

2. Whatever potable water is available, its quality is not good.


3 Industrial effluents and untreated water of industries get mixed into streams and rivers.
4. Sewage water also gets mixed into these water bodies.
Spring Tides-
 During the full moon and new moon days,
the sun, the moon and the earth are in the
same line and the tides are highest.

Neap Tides-
When the moon is in its first and last
quarter, the ocean waters get drawn in
diagonally opposite directions by the
gravitational pull of sun and earth resulting
in low tides.
