- 6. Gas-filled floats/air-bladders that lift the blades towards the sunlight at the surface
- 7. The idea that surface water moved by wind does not flow parallel but rather deflects to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.
- 12. Marine plant species that are quite large
- 13. One of three wind belts in the Northern Hemisphere (high latitudes)
- 15. the supercontinent that consisted of all the present land masses prior to their breakup and subsequent drift to their present positions
- 17. "What occurs when North-South flowing boundary currents meet East-West currents to produce large, circulating currents called gyres"
