Science 8 Water Systems Quiz #1 Outline Quiz Date: Tuesday, September 25th 2012
Addressed Curriculum Outcomes:
· Explain how waves and tides are generated (311-10a)
· Formulate operational definitions of waves for wave length, wave height, crest, and trough (209-7)
· Explain how waves and tides interact with shorelines (311-10b)
Be sure to study your class notes and refer to the PowerPoint presentations etc. posted on my website if needed.
This information can be found at http://ssrsbstaff.ednet.ns.ca/bkluge/science8.htm>. You must be able to:
· Provide definitions for the following key terms
Wave Trough Crest Erosion
Wave length Wave height Deposition
· Name and be able to draw and/or label the four main parts a wave
· Crest
· Trough
· Wave length
· Wave height
· Explain how waves are formed (step by step - wind and its energy transfer to the water particles, etc).
· Be able to give examples of and explain ways in which wave action (through erosion and deposition) shape our shorelines. Examples may include:
Sea Caves – through erosion
Sea Stacks (Such as those found at Hopewell Rocks, New Brunswick) – through erosion
Sandy vs. Stony Beaches - through deposition (large waves vs. small waves; effect on beaches)
Promontories/Headlands (isolated hill of sand located in the ocean away from shore) – through deposition
