Ocean Biome Characteristics
The earth is 70% water. 97% of this water is made up of our oceans and seas.
Most of us only experience the ocean from the beach or on shore. If you go underwater and out into the ocean you discover it is teaming with life.
The ocean can be divided into 5 major oceans
The Pacific which is the largest, the Atlantic, Indian, southern, and the Arctic ocean.
The ocean is teeming with life. It includes animals as large as a 40-foot humpback whale and as small as microscopic plankton.
It includes a huge variety of plants and coral reefs that stretch for miles.
It also includes the largest mountain range called the mid ocean ridge.
The ocean impacts our weather and has been used for thousands of years as trade routes.
We play on the beaches of oceans and wonder what can be found in the Mariana trench which is 32,000 feet deep.
So there you have a very quick overview of our most diverse and largest biome-the ocean
Air masses are large bodies of air with similar temperature and humidity throughout.
In the video, I cover maritime and continental air masses. Maritime air masses form over the water and continental air masses form over land.
In addition, there are maritime tropical, maritime equatorial, maritime polar along with several types of continental air masses.
How clastic rocks form. Sedimentary rocks are derived from igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic rocks.
Sedimentary rocks make up around 75 percent of the rocks at the earth's surface
Letโs take a look at how clastic sedimentary rocks form. Clastic sedimentary rocks are the group of rocks most people think of when they think of sedimentary rocks. Clastic sedimentary rocks are made up of pieces of pre-existing rocks called clasts.
These sedimentary rocks follow wedcc in order to form
Weathering:
Erosion
Deposition
Compaction
Cementation
What is Ecology the study of? Ecology is the study of how organisms interact with one another and their environment. In order to help understand what ecology is I give examples of Ecology.
These interactions can be between biotic and abiotic factors along with different levels of an organization like an organism, a community, a population or an ecosystem.

More Information
Most air masses form over cold areas called polar regions or warm tropical areas.
In addition, they will form over oceans and be moist. Air masses that form over the ocean are called maritime and they form over continents. Air masses that form over continents are dry and are called continental air masses.
Remember air masses take on the conditions of where they are formed.
Letโs take a look at all of the air masses the Earth has
Maritime tropical are warm and moist
Maritime equatorial are hot and moist
Maritime polar cold and moist
Continental tropical warm and dry
Continental polar cold and dry
Continental arctic and Antarctica very cold and dry

Selective breeding (also called artificial selection) is when humans use animal breeding and plant breeding to develop offspring with traits they desire.
Selected breeding has been practiced for years with plants and animals.
Selective breeding has been used with horses, dogs, rice, wheat and corn
Letโs look at some examples,
Look at these two dogs
This Chihuahua mix and Great Dane shows the wide range of dog breed sizes created using selective breeding
Many times mass and weight are used to describe the same thing. However, these two measurements are different. In this video, I explain the difference between mass and weight.
Mass is a measure of how much matter something contains, which equals the number of atoms in it
Weight is a measure of how strongly gravity pulls on something
The SI unit for mass is kilograms
The SI unit for weight is the newton N

Learn the difference between a solvent and a solute. A solute plus a solvent equal a solution. The solute is the object that is dissolved and the solvent is the object that dissolves.
In this video, I provide several examples such as coffee and sugar.
The solvent is the water and the solute is the soluble parts of coffee, sugar, and cream.

In this video you will learn how a histogram is different than a bar chart.
Welcome to MooMooMath where we upload a new Math video everyday
In this video I would like to talk about the difference between a histogram and a bar graph.
A histogram and a bar chart both ways to graph data.
Both have an x and y axis, and both use a bar to display the data.
With a histogram the categories are numerical.
For example, notice on this histogram the x axis is the age of people in the room. The ages are grouped in a numerical range.
In this next example, the histogram is graphing the score on a test and the number of people who scored in each range.
Also, the bars of a histogram touch
A bar graph uses categories such as types of movies, color of eyes, and the bars do not touch
For example, in this bar graph the categories are grade level and the number of students in each grade level.
Notice that the bars do not touch
In another example, the categories are types of videos and the number of videos in each type.
Again, the bars do not touch
In summary, histograms have bars that touch and use quantities.
A bar graph have bars that don't touch and use categorical data.

Quantitative data can be divided into two types, discrete and continuous data.In this video you will learn the differences between discrete and continuous data.

Welcome to MooMooMath where we upload a new Math video everyday.
In this video I would like to talk about two types of quantitative data.
Discrete and Continuous
Discrete data is data that has distinguishable spaces between values.
Often it is data that is counted.
On a graph the ordered pairs are at specific locations, so the graph is not connected, but only points
Some examples of discrete data include,
Dogs
People
Tickets you have for a show.
Continuous data is data that falls on a continuum.
On a graph it is all of the points, and the points in between.
It is data that can be measured as finely as possible.
It is often a physical measure.
Discreet data will often will contain fractions or decimals.
Some examples of continuous data include,
Time
Age
Height
Weight
Let's look at two examples and see the differences between these types of data.
Family Members
Discrete 5 family members
Continuous: Range between 5 feet and 6 feet tall
Books, books on your book shelf.
The discreet data is that you have 6 books on your bookshelf.
Continuous data is that they range in height from 15 to 30 cm in length
Discrete or not?
Number of cows on a farm yes discrete
Age of the cows on the farm continuous
Number of points scored in a game. discrete
Amount of oxygen in the atmosphere continuous
Temperature is continuous data
Number text messages sent today discrete

Learn about 1st class levers,2nd class levers, and 3rd class levers.
Levers are simple machines that are found in many tools you use at work and at home.
A first-class lever has the fulcrum in the middle and the load and effort on each side of the fulcrum.
2nd class levers have the fulcrum on one end and the load in between the fulcrum and the force.
A third class lever has the force in between the fulcrum and the load.
**** After listening to feedback from the comments the way I had the arrows it is confusing. I had the arrow on the load in the direction that it is acting on the load. This seems confusing. Also, I have a typo at the hammer and label it a 2nd class lever. I describe it as a 3rd class but label it a 2nd class. Sorry for the mistake.
As a result I created a new video, and added a nice mnemonic device to help memorize the different types.

The Mohs scale of hardness explained. How can I determine the hardness or the ability to resist scratching of this mineral?
It is the Mohs scale to the rescue. The Mohs scale has ten minerals that increase in hardness. Talc is a number one and is the softest and diamond is the hardest.
This scale can be used to identify minerals.

x-linked inheritance and male pattern baldness.
An x-linked trait which is a sex linked trait is a trait found on the x chromosome.
Females have two x chromosomes and males have an x and a y chromosome.
The x chromosome has almost 800 genes compared to only around 70 found on the y chromosome.
Letโs look at the Punnett Square for another x-linked disease, hemophilia
In this example, the father has the disease and the mother is a carrier.
With a recessive x-linked disease a female can be a carrier
Have the disease, or not have the disease.
Males can only have the disease or not.
Letโs go back to the Punnett square and their offspring.
This female is a carrier, this female has the disease, this male has not inherited the disease and this male has hemophilia.
Notice the Punnett square works similar to a monohybrid cross except the y is neither dominant or recessive. I will call the y chromosome neutral
Because males either have the disease or not, they have a greater chance of inheriting an x-linked trait.
So there you go, traits found on the x chromosome.

What causes tides on Earth. The moon, sun, and gravity work together to create tides. When the mon, and sun pull on the Earth with their gravitational force the Earth has tidal bulges. The side of the Earth furthest from the moon has a tidal bulge due to inertia and centrifugal momentum.
I also cover the unique spring tides and neap tides.
Where does the sunrise and set?
In this video, I will explain why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
The sun only sets due east two times a year.
During the spring and autumn equinox, the sun sets due east. After this, the sunsets either further north or south.
Learn the difference between a physical property and a chemical property. In this video, I cover 9 physical properties and several chemical properties in order to help you understand the difference between these different types of properties.
