(8) Science concepts. The student knows that geological phenomena
and fluid dynamics affect aquatic systems. The student is expected to:
(A) demonstrate basic principles of fluid dynamics, including
hydrostatic pressure, density, salinity, and buoyancy;
(B) identify interrelationships between ocean currents, climates, and
geologic features; and
(C) describe and explain fluid dynamics in an upwelling and lake
turnover.
