Unit 4 Test
California Earth Science Standards Addressed
3a. Students know features of the ocean floor (magnetic patterns, age, and sea-floor
topography) provide evidence of plate tectonics.
5a. Students know how differential heating of Earth results in circulation patterns in the
atmosphere and oceans that globally distribute the heat.
5b. Students know the relationship between the rotation of Earth and the circular motions
of ocean currents and air in pressure centers.
5d. Students know properties of ocean water, such as temperature and salinity, can be used
to explain the layered structure of the oceans, the generation of horizontal and
vertical ocean currents, and the geographic distribution of marine organisms.
6b. Students know the effects on climate of latitude, elevation, topography, and proximity
to large bodies of water and cold or warm ocean currents.
