Presentation Transcript

  1. Warm-Up 8/27 • How long did the voyage of the HMS challenger take? • What are some of the reasons an individual might become a Marine ecologist? • What is the difference between Physical Oceanography and Marine Biology?

  2. Warm-Up 8/28 • What is the difference between a biotic and abiotic factor? • What does the term homeostasis mean? • What is the difference between a zone of stress and a zone of intolerance for an organism?

  3. Warm-Up 8/29 • What were the three different criteria we discussed using to define the different oceanic zones? (how do we define aphotic vs. Photic, littoral from oceanic, and benthic from pleagic) • What is the name for the most biologically productive layer of the ocean? (it’s a division of the photic layer) • What is detritus?

  4. Warm-Up 8/30 • Thinking back to your classmates presentations, name one school or institute that is currently conducting research relevant to Marine Ecology. • What is the euphotic zone? • What ocean zone starts at the end of the littoral zone and ends where the continental shelf drops off?
