nitrogen and carbon cycles to the
health of water systems.
 Summarize the importance and
causes of the Greenhouse Effect.

Principle of Constant Seawater Test
Proportions?
(A) demonstrate basic principles of fluid dynamics, including
hydrostatic pressure, density, salinity, and buoyancy;
(C) describe and explain fluid dynamics in an upwelling and lake
turnover.
(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
“I Can”
 Compare and contrast upwellings and
turnovers, in terms of how they work
and how they affect ocean
ecosystems and climate.
 Identify the importance and
purposes of dissolved O2 & Co2
levels in the oceans
