1)Water is said to have a high boiling point. How does this property of water allow for life in the oceans?

a) Even when it gets very cold in the winter, the oceans will not freeze.
b) Even when it gets very hot in the summer, the oceans will not dry out.
c) Even if oil is spilled on water, the oceans will not burn.
d) Even if ships heat up the water, the oceans will not warm.

2)Which ocean zone has the most abundant primary producers, and why?
a)The Abyssopelagic zone, due to the absence of light and cold water temperatures
b) The Bathypelagic zone, due to the absence of light and cold water temperatures
c) The Mesopelagic zone, due to its high light availability and warm water temperatures
d)The Epipelagic zone, due to its high light availability and warm water
temperatures

3)A marine scientist wants to understand the effects of tsunamis on beach erosion. Unfortunately, it is hard to predict when and where tsunamis will be triggered. What research methods would best allow him to overcome this limitation in studying tsunamis?

a)Build a small-scale model of a beach to simulate the effects of tsunamis
b) Hire more people so that they can be located everywhere around the world
c) Build a machine to create real earthquakes at scheduled times and generate tsunamis
d) Focus his research on typhoons instead

As the water has a specific heat and a high boiling point the number of changes in its chemical constitution will remain the same even after boiling the ocean water as it does not dry out.

The surface layer of the ocean is known as epipelagic it extends from the surface to 200 meters depth.As this layer has the most visible light as heat form coming from the sun most of the productivity is found in this zone.

As a marine scientist, the best method to study the tsunami would be to make a 3 dimensional model of the surface and hence would save tome and easy to understand.
