Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The Trieste was a blimp-like bathyscaphe designed by the Swiss. United States Navy lieutenant Don
Walsh and Jacques Piccard were able to use this to go down into the Challenger Deep in 1960. This
was the beginning of manned and unmanned travel into the depths of the ocean. Information can be
found in the section Contemporary Oceanography Makes Use of Modern Technology



Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
The focus of AQUA is on the Earth's water cycle, but it is unable to gather information about wave
heights. AQUA gathers information about ocean water evaporation, the amount of water vapor present
in the atmosphere, and the amount of phytoplankton and dissolved organic matter amounts in the
oceans. AQUA also gathers information about land, air, and water temperatures. Information can be
found in the section Contemporary Oceanography Makes Use of Modern Technology
