Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Sir John Ross and his nephew, Sir James Clark Ross, attacked deep-sea sampling. They used a
clamping sampler which trapped specimens from various depths. They even sampled from 1,919
meters deep near the coast of Greenland. Information can be found in the section Voyaging Combined
with Science to Advance Ocean Studies

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Although Benjamin Franklin and Tim Folger were the first to document these patterns off eastern
North America, Matthew Maury used their information and a trove of additional information to create
worldwide charts with these patterns. He would then issue these charts to mariners in exchange for
their own logbooks. Information can be found in the section The First Scientific Experiments Were
Undertaken by Government
