D Describe TWO economic reasons that explain the important of the claims in the South China Sea or Arctic Ocean..
Must accurately describe both economic reasons. Students may use one from each region or two from the same region-
- Arctic Ocean trade route from Europe to Asia, oil or mineral exploration, or economic rights to the living and nonliving resources of the region.
- South China Sea: oil, natural gas, or mineral exploration; economic rights to the living and nonliving resources of the region
E. Describe ONE environmental concern affecting the oceans.
Since the high seas or international waters are unregulated by specific countries, the
following are potential environmental concerns:
- Unregulated pollution or dumping

G. Briefly explain why choke points are politically or economically important.
Any one of the following will be awarded credit, as long as it accurately explains the importance of choke points. Answer should be supported with details and examples
- Economic: Choke points provide shortcuts for trade which reduce the overall cost and time it takes to deliver goods to markets. Around 90% of all global goods are transported by sea. Countries that control choke points often charge fees and these areas often have greater economic development. Singapore and Panama are examples. Many choke points in the Middle East are critical to provide safe passage of oil to destinations around the world
- Political: Countries that claim jurisdiction over these choke points often wield an inordinate amount of International clout. Many powerful countries will place military bases close to choke points. This allows countries to monitor the movement of military vessels of enemies or unfriendly countries.
