MAF 100 Midterm
1.Relationality: A view of the world that emphasizes that no person or
thing exists in isolation
2.Different zones of the ocean: Epipelagic, Mesopelagic, and
Bathypelagic
3.Epipelagic zone: 0-200m, The uppermost part of the oceanic zone
that receives enough sunlight to allow photosynthesis.
4.Mesopelagic zone: Ocean: the pelagic environment between 200
and 1000 m; light intensity too low for photosynthesis, many organisms
have eyes adapted to low light levels
5.Bathypelagic: known as midnight or dark zone, no sunlight
6.Hadley cells: air rises near equator (10-15 km above the earth's
surface)
7.Coriolis effect: Causes moving air and water to turn left in the
southern hemi- sphere and turn right in the northern hemisphere due
to Earth's hemisphere.
8.Magnuson-Stevens Act: (1976) Management of marine fisheries,
EEZ,
9.Hadley cells: a large-scale atmospheric convection cell in which air
rises at the equator and sinks at medium latitudes, typically about 30°
north or south.
10.Tidal Ranges: Baseline, State waters, Territorial Sea, Contiguous
zone, High seas (International waters)
11.State waters distance: 0-3 nm
12.Territorial Sea distance: 3-12 nm
