Syd's Sea Quiz

I have made up an internet quiz on the sea, given you questions to answer, and provided you with links that will take you to a web page to find the answer. Your job is to find the answer on the web page and write it down on a piece of standard size paper. Turn in the paper to Mr. St. Clair in Room 3 for credit. If you want to test yourself further, you can take the separate web page quizes provided by the web site.
