Bing Oceans Quiz Answer;
1: What is the largest species of sea turtle in the world?
A Green sea turtle
B Leatherback sea turtle
C Hawksbill sea turtle
The leatherback sea turtle can weigh more than 550 pounds and is believed to have evolved over 1 million years ago. Able to dive to a depth of 4,000 feet, it makes long ocean crossings and only returns to shore to lay its eggs.
The correct answer is Leatherback sea turtle.
2: What is the world’s largest ocean?
A Pacific
B Atlantic
C Indian
It is the largest and deepest ocean in the world. The Pacific Ocean stretches from the Arctic Ocean in the north of the globe to the Southern Ocean in the south. It runs between Australia and Asia to its west and the Americas in the east. At 63,800,000 square miles, it covers around 46 percent of the Earth’s total water surface.
The correct answer is Pacific.
3: Which of these is known as the “killer whale”?
A Blue whale
B Orca
C Humpback whale
Despite being known as the “killer whale”, the Orca is actually a dolphin (the largest of them). It gets its nickname for its large size, and for being a voracious predator that hunts penguins, seals, sea lions, fish and even other dolphins.
The correct answer is Orca.
4: What is the definition of the “deep sea”?
A The layer above the thermocline
B The furthest point from land
C The lowest layer of the ocean
The deep layer, as it also called, is the lowest depths of the ocean below the thermocline. There is little or no light in that part of the ocean, but life is plentiful in the deep sea with organisms living off falling organic matter. The average depth of the ocean is estimated to be 2.17 miles.
The correct answer is The lowest layer of the ocean.
5: What is the Mariana Trench?
A The deepest recorded point on the ocean floor
B The heart of the Bermuda Triangle
C An ancient lost city on the floor of the ocean
The deepest oceanic trench on Earth is located in the Pacific Ocean about 124 miles east of the Mariana Islands. Its known maximum depth is 36,037 feet. To put this into perspective, if Mount Everest was placed in the trench, the world’s highest mountain would be under water by more than 1.2 miles.
The correct answer is The deepest recorded point on the ocean floor.
6: What are ocean currents?
A Continuous movement of seawater
B Constant temperature of seawater
C The distance between two oceans
Driven by winds and seawater density, they play a pivotal role in determining the climate of the Earth’s regions and weather patterns around the world. For example, the Gulf Stream helps in making parts of north-west Europe more temperate than other regions at the same latitude.
The correct answer is Continuous movement of seawater.
