C.  Essay:  5 points each

 

26.  Since the grouper lived at the bottom of the ocean, its body was acclimated to the extra pressure of water above its habitat.  When it was brought to the surface very quickly, the gases in its body experienced much less pressure so they expanded, resulting in its bloated look, and caused it to die.

 

27.  Evaporation will result in greater salinity of the water left behind.  This water will then become denser and could begin to sink to a lower level in the ocean.  A drop in temperature will do the same thing, because colder water is denser than warmer water.

 

28.  New oceanic crust is formed at the ocean ridges, where plates are moving apart.  The Altantic Ocean has the large mid-ocean ridge, so oceanic crust formation mostly occurs in the Atlantic Ocean.  Oceanic crust is destroyed at the trenches, where subduction occurs.  Problem #5 in your Study Guide tells you that this occurs in the Pacific Ocean, so oceanic crust destruction occurs mostly in the Pacific Ocean.

 

29.  The surface layer is a well-mixed layer exposed to wind and currents and is generally warmer in temperature.  The deep layer is uniformly cold and much thicker than the surface layer.  The thermocline separates them and is a transitional zone between them.

 

30.  The differences between these types of crust are in the chemical and physical composition of the rocks.  Whether or not they are covered by water is irrelevant.  Oceanic crust contains basalt and is denser and thinner than continental crust, which contains granite, is less dense, and is thicker.
