MAF 100 MIDTERM STUDY GUIDE
Relationality - Answers :A view of the world that emphasizes that no person or thing
exists in isolation
Different zones of the ocean - Answers :Epipelagic, Mesopelagic, and Bathypelagic
Epipelagic zone - Answers :0-200m, The uppermost part of the oceanic zone that
receives enough sunlight to allow photosynthesis.
Mesopelagic zone - Answers :Ocean: the pelagic environment between 200 and 1000
m; light intensity too low for photosynthesis, many organisms have eyes adapted to low
light levels
Bathypelagic - Answers :known as midnight or dark zone, no sunlight
Hadley cells - Answers :air rises near equator (10-15 km above the earth's surface)
Coriolis effect - Answers :Causes moving air and water to turn left in the southern
hemisphere and turn right in the northern hemisphere due to Earth's hemisphere.
Magnuson-Stevens Act - Answers :(1976) Management of marine fisheries, EEZ,
Hadley cells - Answers :a large-scale atmospheric convection cell in which air rises at
the equator and sinks at medium latitudes, typically about 30° north or south.

seas (International waters)
