Tectonic Plates
Has helped determine
where ocean basins are
located.
Tectonic plates move
changing the position of the
continents.

Oceans now

Volcanic Action
Has built ocean floor along
mid-ocean ridges in areas
where plates separate.
Has helped build continental
divides in areas where plates
have collided and mountain
building occurs.

Water trapped in volcanic materials were released as vapour. It cooled, condensed and fell back to the earth. This water collected in the lowest parts of the Earth’s surface... The ocean basins.

Erosion
Has aided the further
development of continental
drainage systems as
material is removed and
deposited into the ocean
basins.

development of continental
drainage systems.
Glaciers move materials
towards the oceans.

Ocean Currents...
A large amount of ocean
water that moves in a
particular and unchanging
direction.
![Page 27: Grade 8 Science - redeemer.k12.nf.ca · 2. Control weather 3. Support diverse life 4. Provides humans with food, minerals, and resources. The Origin of the Oceans 1.

2 Types of Ocean Currents...
1. Surface currents
Flow in the top 100-200 m
2. Deep currents
Flow below 200 m
![Page 28: Grade 8 Science - redeemer.k12.nf.ca · 2. Control weather 3. Support diverse life 4. Provides humans with food, minerals, and resources. The Origin of the Oceans 1.

Surface Currents
Factors that influence
surface currents are:
1. Wind
2. Earth rotation
3. Shape of the Earth’s
continents
![Page 29: Grade 8 Science - redeemer.k12.nf.ca · 2. Control weather 3. Support diverse life 4. Provides humans with food, minerals, and resources. The Origin of the Oceans 1.

Wind
Air movement caused by
uneven heating.
The energy of the moving
air is transferred by friction
to the water molecules
causing it to move.

Earth Rotation
The Earth spins counter-
clockwise.
This spinning body deflects
winds and currents
depending on what side the
equator they are on.

This alteration of direction
is called the Coriolis effect.

Hemisphere

Hemisphere

Shape of Continent
Moving currents are forced
to turn when they meet a
solid surface.

Deep Water Currents
The most important
influences are:
1. Water temperature
2. Salinity
![Page 34: Grade 8 Science - redeemer.k12.nf.ca · 2. Control weather 3. Support diverse life 4. Provides humans with food, minerals, and resources. The Origin of the Oceans 1.

Water Temperature
Not the same at every
depth.
*Cold water
is also more
dense than
warmer
water.

Salinity
Seawater is less salty at the mouths of large rivers due to the fresh water entering the ocean.
Fresh water also enters where glaciers and icebergs melt and areas of high precipitation.

High amounts of
evaporation increases
salinity as well as freezing.

Waves...
Large ripples set in motion
by steady winds.
Waves on the surface of
water are the result of a
transfer of energy from
moving air to the water.

Common Wave Features:
*As a wave approaches a shoreline,
the wavelength decreases and the
wave height increases.

Tides...
The slow rise and fall of the
ocean.
The upper and lower edges
of a beach are determined
by the high- and low- tide
mark.
![Page 46: Grade 8 Science - redeemer.k12.nf.ca · 2. Control weather 3. Support diverse life 4. Provides humans with food, minerals, and resources. The Origin of the Oceans 1.

Tides are connected to the
motion of the moon and
the spinning of the Earth.
The moon exerts a greater
force of pull than the sun
due to its closer proximity
to Earth.

2 Types of Tides:
1. Spring Tide:
Occur when the Earth,
Sun and Moon are in a
line.
Causes extra high and
low tides.

2. Neap Tides:
Occur when the Sun and the
Moon are at right angles to
one another.
Causes the smallest tidal
movements. There is little
difference between low and
high tides.

Tidal Range:
The difference in level
between a high and a low
tide.

Shaping Our Shorelines...
Waves have the power to erode
and deposit sediments on the
shore.
Tides work with waves to
determine the range of
shoreline that can be affected
by wave action.
![Page 53: Grade 8 Science - redeemer.k12.nf.ca · 2. Control weather 3. Support diverse life 4. Provides humans with food, minerals, and resources. The Origin of the Oceans 1.

Factors that affect the
interaction of waves and
tides on the shorelines are:
1. Slope of the shoreline
2. Shape of the shoreline
3. Type of rock material
4. Wave energy

Shoreline Features...
Wave energy is concentrated
on headlands and spreads out
as it reaches bays.

Think-Pair-Share...
How can coastal
communities minimize the
damage to shoreline
property due to waves and
tides?

Shorelines can change quickly
Example...
Intense wave action during:
winter storms
hurricanes
Etc.

Technologies to prevent/
reduce the effects of wave
action near human development
include:
1. Breakwaters
2. Jetties/ wharves
3. Vegetation
4. Sea walls
5. Coastal reconfiguration
