• sea

• ocean

• gulf

Multiple Choice

A body of water moving in a definite direction

• ocean

• wind

• current

Multiple Select

Select all the factors that affect surface currents

• wind

• Coriolis effect

• temperature

• density

Multiple Select

Select all the factors that affect Deep currents

• wind

• Coriolis effect

• temperature

• density

Multiple Choice

What causes the Earth's wind and water currents to curve instead of moving straight up and down between the equator and the poles?

• Wind

• Coriolis Effect (earth spinning)

• Temperature

Multiple Choice

True or False: the equator receives the most direct sunlight, so the water is COLDEST at the equator

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

True or False: Just like air, cold water is more dense so it sinks. Warm water is less dense, so it rises.

• true

• false

Multiple Choice

Warm water rising and cold water sinking below the surface of the ocean creates a _________ current

• surface

• convection

• slow

Multiple Choice

Water that is warmed at the equator....

• stays there

• flows toward the poles

• flows toward the nearest landmass

Multiple Choice

Water that is cooled at the poles....

• flows toward the equator

• stays there

• flows toward the nearest landmass

Multiple Choice

True or False: Water moves straight up and down between the equator and the poles

• True

• False

Multiple Choice

Why does water NOT flow straight up and down between the equator and poles?

• thermohaline circulation

• Coriolis effect (earth spinning)

• Wind currents

Multiple Choice

Circular pattern of ocean currents

• circle

• current

• gyre

Review Day 1: Specific Heat of Water

• Water has a high specific heat.

• This means it takes a lot of energy to heat water.

Multiple Choice

Water has a ______ specific heat

• high

• low

• undecided

Multiple Choice

It takes ___________ energy to heat water

• not very much

• a lot of

• I have no idea

Because water has a high specific heat

• It takes more energy to heat water than land

• Land heats much faster than water

Multiple Choice

Land heats _______ than water

• faster

• slower
