Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
The idea of the Oceanographic Institution in Monaco had spread across the world. The Scripps
Institute in La Jolla, California was founded in 1912. Woods Hole was founded in 1930 in Cape Cod
on the east coast of the United States. Information can be found in the section Contemporary
Oceanography Makes Use of Modern Technology.



Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
The tension peaked while Hypatia was the librarian. Christian Romans identified science and
knowledge with pagan practices, and in CE 415 the library was burned and Hypatia was murdered.
700,000 irreplaceable scrolls were lost. Alexandria ceased to be the center of learning in the ancient
world, and this great loss of information likely sent Europe into the Dark Ages after the Roman
Empire fell in 476 A.D. Information can be found in the section Understanding the Ocean Began with
Voyaging for Trade and Exploration.
